EVA Perfect Binding Layout Guideline

EVA Perfect Binding by Twin Loop Binding Services

Covers

Please supply covers flat without trimming and without scoring
The covers need to have a 5mm bleed over the size of the text. If the text has a 3mm bleed, then the bleed of the cover should be 3mm + 5mm
The inside spine of the cover and 6mm on either side of the inside spine needs to be ink-free and free of any celloglaze
If you have an image on the inside cover that flows onto the text of either the first page or the last page, then you need to shift this image 6mm away from the spine on both the text and the cover
The maximum thickness we can run is 350 gsm. If your document is less than 3mm thick, then you should not use more than a 250 gsm cover stock
The maximum cover size we can run is 620mm x 320mm
The minimum cover size we can run is A5
If printing your covers 2-up, please ensure a 20mm gap between the top and bottom covers. You will still need to provide a 5mm bleed above the top of the top cover and a 5mm bleed on the bottom of the cover below.
