You can download our guides and templates in the template section. Remember to delete the template layers before exporting your design to PDF.
If you already have a design, no worries; we accept other file formats, including JPEG, PNG, or EPS.
For photographic content, high-resolution JPEGs are recommended, preferably without compression. For graphics or text-based content, we recommend print-ready, vector-based PDFs. For content that is a combination of graphics and photography, we suggest using print-ready PDFs to ensure the best quality.
- The spine area on the reverse of the cover is not printable, since it is where the interior pages will be glued.
- Note that the 1st interior page in the template will be on the right side of the final product’s spread.
- Given a 64 paged Perfect Bound booklet order: 60 interior pages + 2 spreads (cover / back cover on the first spread & first and last interior pages on the second spread) = 62 pages pdf file.
The width of the spine depends on the amount of pages and paper type you choose for your booklet. Here you can find an overview of the different spines widths that are needed:

Prepare your files using CMYK as the colour mode, not RGB. Use colourmode FOGRA39 (ISO Coated v2) for coated papertypes and colourmode FOGRA47 (PSO Uncoated ISO12647) for uncoated papertypes. If you are unsure of the colour mode of your file, don't worry we can always convert this for you. Keep in mind this can cause the colours to differ from the original file.
Make sure the resolution of the images and graphics in your artwork are at least 300 dpi.
During production, there might be a slight cut deviation. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:
For this product, the minimum font size is 6 pt. To avoid any issues, we recommend the following:
Note that we don't check spelling or typographical errors.
Lines should be at least 0.25 pt. Negative lines should be at least 0.5 pt.
Make sure no elements in your artwork are set on overprint unless you want this effect in your design. You can read more about overprint in our Help Centre.
Force Colour Images to CMYK with a 260% ink limit (in Photoshop > Convert Colour Profile > Photoshop 5 Default CMYK). Make sure the ink coverage isn't higher than 300%.

Depending on the complexity, this can take a bit longer.
No. This is because the pages are folded and printed on both sides. A sheet of paper gets folded in the middle so it covers 4 pages (2 on the front and 2 on the back). For instance, when you choose an A4 size brochure with 8 pages, we print two A3 sheets (two times as big as A4) and fold them in half, which results in a total of 8 pages.
90 gsm: This paper is our budget paper. It's light, thin and cost-effective - ideal for distribution!

135gsm: This material is lightweight and slightly thicker than printing paper. Thickness: 0.11 mm.
170gsm: This material gives your product a professional look. It's ideal for use at events, fairs and for your business-stand. Thickness: 0.17mm.
