Technical Specifications for Perfect Bound Prospectus'

Setting Up Design Files For Prospectus Printing

• For Perfect Bound Booklets, please submit artwork as two files.

  • One file is the cover pages, submitted as a spread including the spine.  Please use our spine width calculator to ensure you have the correct spine size.

  • The second file should be the inner pages, submitted with individual pages in running order.

  • For example, for a 40 page brochure, please supply an inner PDF of 36 pages and a cover PDF of two pages – page 1 being the outside cover spread and page 2 being the inside cover spread.

• Booklets must contain a page total divisible by 2.

• It is recommended you do not place words, page numbers or images too close to the edges of each page.  We would recommend a safe zone on all sides of at least 10mm for Perfect Bound.

• To ensure the best possible finish, please leave the inside spine and 5mm either side of the spine blank as the glue works better on areas with no print.

• Include 3mm bleed on all sides

• Supply as a CMYK PDF

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300dpi resolution
