File Setup & Page Layout for Brochures
Flyers
Booklets are a little more complex. Also, if you have artwork you created from another company, it might not meet all requirements. For best results have your designer or yourself, follow the guidelines below
Here are guidelines/rules to follow when creating your Booklets:
• Page counts start on the cover as page 1, inside cover as page 2 and so on.
• Total bleed is 0.125” and total Safety is 0.25” for Saddle Stitched and Any Coil Bound
• Total bleed is 0.125” and total Safety is 0.50” for Perfect Bound
• Only single pages will be accepted. NO readers OR printers spreads please. This allows us to set up your crossovers properly.
For example, a (12) page - 8.5x11 booklet with bleed
should be a single (multipage) PDF file with - (12) 8.75x11.25 pages total. The first page is the Front Cover and the last page is the Back Cover.
