Ready to dazzle with your next booklet? Perfect bound booklets are here to elevate your content with a sleek, sophisticated finish that’s sure to impress.
When designing a perfect bound booklet, selecting the appropriate bleed margin is crucial to achieving a polished and professional final product. Here’s what you need to consider:
Extend all background images, colors, and design elements 0.125 inches (3mm) beyond the trim line to create a bleed. This ensures that any minor shifts during printing and cutting won’t leave unwanted white edges.
If your design includes graphics or images that span across the gutter (the space where the pages meet), ensure they extend into the bleed area on both sides. This will prevent any visible gaps in the middle of the booklet after binding. Extend these elements 0.125 inches (3mm) beyond the gutter to maintain continuity across the spread.
Keep critical text and important design elements at least 0.25 inches (6mm) away from the trim line and spine. This buffer prevents content from being cut off or obscured by the binding process. If you have elements that extend to the edge, they should also reach into the bleed area.
For the cover, include a 0.125-inch (3mm) bleed around the entire design, including the spine. Make sure that any graphics or colors that reach the edge of the cover extend into this bleed area. This approach ensures a seamless finish and prevents any white lines from appearing at the edges.
