Selecting the right paper weight is crucial in spiral-bound book printing, as it directly impacts quality and durability. For instance, 60-70 lb paper is popular for text-heavy books, offering easy handling, while 80-100 lb stock provides a premium feel for high-quality presentations. The thicker paper also reduces bleed-through, enhancing readability and visual appeal.

Bleed refers to the area beyond your print's trim size, ensuring that images or colors extend beyond the final trim size. Add a 3mm bleed to each print file before uploading them to your Artwork Dashboard. Avoid placing any important content within the bleed area. You don't need to include a bleed if your pages are blank (i.e., no images/graphics reaching the edge). For more information on bleed, trim lines, and gutter areas, visit our Bleed Setup Support Page.

For Perfect Binding, design your spine and upload it as part of a cover spread or a separate PDF file. Ensure a 3mm bleed at the top and bottom of your design. Spine measurements will be calculated and displayed in your Shopping Cart and Artwork Dashboard. If you choose not to include a spine file, insert a blank page.
Ensure all page thumbnails are filled. For instance, if your order includes 32 pages, your files must fill 32 thumbnails. You can add blank pages or adjust your quote if needed. For further details, visit our Print File Checklist Support Page.
