Paperback / Hardcover / Booklet Interior

[Back]

1. File format

2. Page setup and margins

The file must contain consecutive single pages (not spreads).
We recommend not using inner bleed on the spine side.
Keep text and important elements at least: 5 mm from trim edges and 10 mm from the spine side.
We recommend an inner margin of at least 10 mm to prevent text from falling into the fold area.

Detailed requirements for specific binding types

Perfect bound binding (paperback or hardcover)

The total page count must be even.
If an odd number of pages is supplied, a blank page will be added at the end of the book block.

Sewn hardcover binding

The total page count must be divisible by 4. Otherwise, blank pages will be added at the end of the book block.

Booklet binding

The total page count must be divisible by 4. Otherwise, blank pages will be added at the end of the book block.
Maximum page count: 96. Maximum spine thickness: 5 mm.
Important: If the publication exceeds 96 pages, we recommend changing the binding type to perfect bound. Very thick booklet bindings may create a “page creep” effect, where the inner pages extend beyond the outer pages. This negatively affects the appearance of the publication and requires excessive trimming of the book block.
