Determining Spine Widths & Creating Cover Layouts

Figuring the spine width of a perfect-bound book is a relatively easy task. To do this, you need to let us know:

1. The type of paper your text will be printed on.
2. The number of pages in your book.

Once your Customer Service Representative has this information, your spine will be calculated to the nearest 32nd of an inch. Please contact your Customer Service Representative before sending your cover file to Printcrafters Inc. to determine the correct spine width and avoid adjustment charges.
