Designing Tips
While each binding type of books may have some specific requirements for artwork designs, there are something in common, such as the image resolution and bleeding lines
Here are key tips for file preparation to achieve optimal printing results.
For optimal printing results, it’s recommended to save your files in PDF format as vectors. We advise using Adobe Illustrator or Adobe InDesign for designing flexibound books. These platforms also allow for the necessary conversion of color space from RGB to CMYK, which is essential for offset printing.
Within the required 3 mm bleed zone, it’s important to indicate trim lines that define the final dimensions of the finished page. Make sure that key elements on your page are placed at least 10 mm away from these trim lines.
When a photo or artwork spans a two-page spread, make sure that critical elements, such as facial features or key details, do not fall on the central fold.
Ensure consistency in all formatting elements throughout the document, including fonts, font sizes, drop caps, section dividers, page numbers, margins, chapter titles, and page breaks.
