Design guidelines
We recommend using our templates and guides for preparing your print-ready PDF.

You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.

If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.

For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.

Layout tips for Hardback book
These are some layout tips for hardcover booklets


- The reverse of the cover is not printable.

- Note that the 1st interior page in the template will be on the right side of the final product’s spread.

- Given a 64 paged hardcover booklet order: 64 interior pages + the cover/back cover spread = 65 pages pdf file.

- In the final product, there will be 1 extra blank page before and after your interior pages. These blank pages will be added automatically, so there is no need to provide them or take them into account for your page count.

Use CMYK as the colour mode.

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2). If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.

Resolution of at least 300 dpi.

Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.

Add 3 mm bleed and keep 4 mm safety margin

During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

  • Add a 3 mm bleed around all edges of your design.
  • Keep important elements 4 mm away from the edge or folding lines.
  • Avoid using borders or frames on smaller formats like labels or business cards.
Text and fonts specifications (Min. font size is 6 pt)

For this product, the minimum font size is 6 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:

  • Fonts must be embedded or outlined.
  • If your design contains small black text, make sure it is 100 % black (Cyan: 0 Magenta: 0 Yellow: 0 Black: 100).

Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.

Check line thickness.

Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.

Check your artwork for overprint.

Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.

Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Force Colour Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Colour Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

What is the print technique used in Thread Sewn Hardcover Books?

    • Full colour

      Full colour printing is cost-effective because it combines multiple print orders onto a single printing sheet to optimise efficiency. This technique uses four colours: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (CMYK). Full colour printing is ideal for promotional books with images or illustrations.

      Full colour
    • Greyscale printing

      Greyscale printing uses various shades of grey to reproduce images or text. It's an excellent option for books that primarily consist of text without the need for color. This printing technique is highly cost-effective, especially when producing books on a large scale. Your text will stand out with clarity and readability. If your focus is on delivering content rather than visual elements, greyscale printing is the perfect solution.
