File submission
For hardback books, the file submission process is more complex than for softback books. The cover (binding) consists of several parts and must be assembled exactly in accordance with technical specifications.
That is why we always provide you with a layout template for designing the cover.
This template includes, amongst other things:
- the exact position of the front cover, back cover and spine
- the folds (hinges)
- the fold-in (the part that is folded inwards)
- safety margins and bleed
In addition, when working on hardback books, you will be dealing with endpapers. These are the pages that connect the inner pages to the cover.
When the endpapers are to be printed, they must be supplied as a separate file in accordance with the specifications provided.
