Bound print file setup information

How to supply your print files

You can supply your files in a way that suits you - as single pages or spreads, individual files for each page, or as a single combined file.

For sharper images, we advise uploading files at 300dpi. Images lower than 100dpi may appear pixelated.

Spine (for Perfect Binding)

If you choose perfect binding you have the option to upload the spine as a separate print file. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart. If you do not upload a print file for your spine it will be left blank.

The spine will also need a 3mm bleed at the top and bottom.

Important - your cover

Your cover is made up of four pages - a front cover, an inside front cover, a back cover, and an inside back cover.

Bleed

We ask for a 3mm bleed on all booklets. Please do not include any important content within this area.

Completing your order

Before you can complete your order, you must make sure all page placeholders have been completed. For example, if you are ordering 32 pages, all 32 boxes must be filled. If you do not have enough content, you must add blank pages.

Binding

The binding options available for booklets are: saddle stitched or stapled, perfect bound, or wiro bound.

Please note:

These available binding options are entirely dependent upon the number of pages and paper weight selected for your order. This is because there comes a point where the combined paper thickness is too much to effectively staple or stitch together, and will instead need to be held together by adhesive (otherwise known as ‘perfect binding’).

The opposite is true if there are too few pages for perfect binding to work. Our dynamic ordering system is smart enough to know when a limit has been reached, and will automatically switch to the required binding option.

How to supply your print files

For sharper images, we advise uploading files at 300dpi. Images lower than 100dpi may appear pixelated.

Endpapers

The inside front and back cover pages cannot be printed on. These are called Endpapers. On the order, these places will be locked. This is important as it may throw the page sequence out, putting left and right facing pages in the wrong order.

There is a choice of Endpapers - either solid white or black.

Important - your cover

When it comes to cover artwork setup, hardcover books are slightly different to our other products.

Most covers are made up of four pages - a front cover, an inside front cover, a back cover, and an inside back cover. The cover for a hardcover book is only two pages - a front cover and a back cover.

Bleed

The cover on hardback books overhangs the inner pages. To make the cover, we need a very large bleed area on the front, back and spine. We ask for 20mm on all sides. Please do not include any important content within this area.

Spine

The spine will also need a 20mm bleed at the top and bottom. If you are uploading a cover spread, you do not need to supply a separate spine file. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart. However, we ask for an extra 5mm to be added to the front and back covers, placed either side of the spine depth in your design.

If you are uploading single pages. The spine should be supplied as a separate file. The spine depth is calculated and displayed in the shopping cart. If you do not upload a print file for your spine it will be left blank.

Quiet area

Within the cover page size we recommend a quiet area or margin of at least 8mm around the edge.
