Hardcover/Casebound Cover Artwork Setup Guide
Because we take a single printed sheet and wrap it around 3 pieces of sturdy greyboard to create the hardcover case for your book, your artwork should be created as a single spread.
The "Page Height" and "Page Width" measurements in the guide below should be the same as the inside pages of your book.
Next, you'll have to accommodate for your book's spine.
You'll also have to account for the area marked 'foldover,' which is printed, folded over, and glued to the inside of the greyboard case to hold everything together as you can see in our page on casebinding. Most of this area is not visible in the final book.
In addition, designs for hardcovers need to take hinge into account, which is the area next to the spine that has no greyboard underneath. For more information, see www.printninja.com/hinge
Finally, keep in mind that hardcover cases, like all offset printing, exhibit minute variance in their production. This means that you should be careful to keep important text and graphics away from the edges between sections, since printed elements will often shift a millimeter or two in final production.
