STEPS TO TAKE
COVER SETUP
Rubiks will charge an extra fee for setting up the cover of your book,
so it's good to learn how to do it properly yourself. There are certain
steps to take and certain ways to setup your document.
REQUIREMENTS
1. Your cover must be a separate file (document) from the rest of
your book. A high resolution pdf is preferred.
6. Paste in or create the graphics for your back cover, spine and front cover, making sure to let the
background colors and graphics extend to the edge of the document. Also make sure to keep your text
within the safe zone. (See diagram)
7. Save your document as a .pdf
Rubiks can perfect bind books with many types of paper and even
card stock. However it is important to note that there is a minimum
amounts of sheets that are needed to produce a book, otherwise the
glue will not hold and the book will fall apart.The minimum amount of
sheets depends on the thickness (or weight) of the paper type.
Minimums for our most common paper types:
5. Create a new document in the program of your choice with this size
4. Add 0.125" bleed to each side of the total cover size to get your document size(For example if your
cover is 17.25" x 11", with bleed it should be 17.5" x 11.25")
3. Add this measurement to the widths of your front and back cover.(For example, if your book is 8.5" x
11" and your stack of paper is 0.25" thick you would add 8.5+8.5+0.25 to get a total width of 17.25". You
now know that your total cover size is 17.25" x 11"
2. Measure out a stack of sheets equivalent to the amount of sheets you'll have in your book.
1. Choose the paper type for the inside pages of your booklet.
2. You must include the back cover, spine and front cover as one
image in your document (see diagram below)
PERFECT BINDING
TYPES OF PAPER AND MINIMUM THICKNESS
40m (20lb) Recycled Paper (our thinnest paper) = minimum of 30 sheets
Please check with us for the minimums for other paper types. A good
gauge to go by is that your book must be at least 3mm thick. So for
example, if you want to use Newsprint, you'll have to make sure to
3. You must add bleed to your cover (0.125" on each side) See our
Bleed Guidelines (link) if you need help with bleeds.
