We accept print-ready layouts for spiral-bound notebooks, ensuring your notebooks turn out exactly as you envisioned. Please take note of the basic layout requirements.
To ensure your notebook looks professional, follow these recommendations.
- “How to prepare a notebook layout,” general requirements:
- The interior block must be submitted in PDF format, page by page (without spreads).
- If the layout consists only of spreads, we can help split it into individual pages (cost: 150 UAH).
- Cover: PDF / PNG / JPG formats (PNG is preferred).
- Multi-page files must be provided as a single document with the correct page order.
- The total number of pages must be even. - Formats and sizes
- The most commonly ordered notebook formats are: A5, B5, A4.
- If the layout has custom proportions, we can help you choose the optimal format or perform the correct scaling. - Recommended margins
- For spiral-bound notebooks, an inner margin of 15 mm from the spine is recommended, and outer margins of at least 10 mm.
- Thanks to these margins, text and important elements will remain in the safe zone and will not be cut off or fall within the binding area. - Technical Specifications
- Color space: CMYK.
- Recommended resolution: 300 dpi.
- Maximum file size: up to 1000 MB.
- The layout must be free of crop marks, watermarks, comments, and unnecessary elements.
- It is recommended to convert fonts to curves.
We recommend avoiding complex effects, shadows, and transparency to prevent potential printing issues. - Cover
- Place text and key elements no closer than 10–15 mm from the edges.
- On the side of the binding (side or top), as required by your order, leave extra space (10–15 mm) for perforation and holes.
- Avoid placing important information in the binding area—part of the image may be lost. - Lamination
- Glossy — standard option (default).
- Matte — +15 UAH per copy.
For best results, we recommend avoiding overly dark and dense fills. - Important details
- Add 3–5 mm to the trim area.
- A technical margin of error for printing and trimming is 1–2 mm.
For spiral-bound notebooks, account for white margins due to the unprinted area. - Additional Services
- Separating the layout across spreads — 150 UAH.
- Choice of spiral color (black, white); other colors available upon consultation with a manager.
- Additional elements, such as cover personalization (text, logo) and decorative inserts, are available upon individual request.
