Because we specialize in fully customizable formats and tailored trim sizes, your layout files must be built to match your exact targeted dimensions.
  • Bleed Area: Add exactly 0.125 inches (3mm) to all outer edges to ensure seamless edge-to-edge printing.
  • Safety Margin: Keep all text and essential imagery at least 0.25 inches (6mm) away from your custom trim line.
  • The Spine: Spine width depends on your total page count and paper selection. Use our dynamic calculator before finalizing your cover design.
