For bleed on covers, there is a 1/8" minimum. 1/4" on all sides is preferred. If bleed on text is needed, please tell us in advance as this may change your quote.

5. Calculate spine size

Our main two stocks are 50# and 60# offset, which have a PPI of 520 and 444 respectively. To calculate your spine size, first ask a customer service representative for the PPI on the paper you will be using. Then Follow this formula:
Divide your page count by the PPI.
Multiply the result by 16
The final figure is your spine size in 16th of an inch (X/16")
