Top tip
To ensure content isn't obscured by the binding, include a 10mm margin on the inside edge of your document and place crucial information within the safe zone. For detailed guidance, refer to our product templates.
Looking for more ways to present publications? Check out our full range of Books and Brochures.
Design guidelines
To make artwork setup simple, we recommend downloading the relevant template from the 'Product Templates' section above. Don’t forget to follow the template instructions and delete the 'guide' layer before exporting your design to a PDF.
For best printing results, ensure your artwork and images are CMYK. If you use RGB, Pantone or spot colours in any element of your artwork, we will automatically convert them to CMYK which may change your colour profile.
To eliminate any font issues, make sure all fonts are ‘embedded’ or ‘converted to outlines’ before creating your PDF print file. To ensure legibility, we recommend using a minimum font size of 10pt.
For optimal image print quality, ensure all images are 300dpi to 450dpi. Anything lower than 300dpi will give poor image quality. Images higher than 450dpi will result in high file sizes and may cause longer upload times.
To avoid alignment issues during cutting, be sure to include ‘crop marks’ (offset 10mm) and ‘document bleed’ when exporting your artwork file to PDF. Refer to our product templates for the required bleed specifications.
To meet our print requirements, ensure your file is exported in Adobe PDF (Print) format, ideally as PDF/X-1a: 2001.

Upload high resolution images (300 DPI or higher). Lower resolution files may look blurry or pixelated when printed.
Extend backgrounds or images into the bleed area to avoid white edges. Keep important text and logos inside the safe zone.

Perfect bound books are publications created by gluing together the inner pages along the spine and attaching a separate cover to this glued spine. This bookbinding method results in a sleek, professional finish and is commonly used for books and catalogues due to its durability and ability to accommodate a larger page count.
Silk: This paper provides a smooth, slightly shiny surface that enhances vibrancy while minimising glare.
Gloss: This paper has a reflective, shiny finish that enhances colour vibrancy and makes images stand out.
Uncoated: This paper offers a natural, matt texture that absorbs ink for a softer print look.
Recycled: This paper is made from 100% reclaimed FSC® certified fibre and features a natural matt finish.
Spot UV: This finish adds a glossy, raised coating to specific areas, creating a striking contrast and highlighting key elements. Applied with Scodix technology.
Gold / Silver Foil: This finish provides a metallic sheen to select areas, giving your design a luxurious and distinctive appearance. Applied with Scodix technology.
Specify the number of pages (including four for the cover) in our product configurator. Our calculator will then display the correct spine thickness in millimetres alongside your page count. When using our templates, remember to adjust them for the calculated spine size.
Perfect bound books have a glued spine, which means a small part of each inner page can be lost into the gutter (the inside margin where the pages meet the spine). To avoid losing important content, you should keep all critical elements at least 10mm away from the spine.
If your design spans across two facing pages (a "read across" or double-page spread), be aware that some image detail will be lost in the fold. For best results, avoid placing faces, text, or fine detail in this area.
If you're unsure, we recommend speaking with our team before submitting your artwork.
The turnaround time for perfect bound book printing depends on your chosen product specification and finishing options. For faster delivery, we offer express production upgrades at an additional cost. To ensure your order is delivered on time, it is important we receive your artwork by the cut-off time indicated on both the product page and basket.
Please note: If your file is submitted after the cut-off time or if corrected artwork isn't provided before the next cut-off time following rejection, it will delay delivery by one working day.
