FAQs
- How do I arrange pages for portfolio printing?
-
To print portfolios, please provide two files: a cover file and an interior page file. The cover file should be twice the size of the final page dimensions, plus the spine size and bleed (e.g. a 6”W page with a .1” spine would have a 12.35”W cover file, including bleed). We recommend a 3/4″ bleed on all sides of the cover to allow for the cover art to wrap the book board.
It’s important to provide the interior page file in the order the pages will be read. In this file, page one is the first right-hand body page, page two is the back of page one, page three is the front of the second body page, etc.
- Should I submit my PDF in spreads or individual pages for my portfolio book?
-
Please provide two files: a cover spread file and an interior pages file. The cover file should be a printer’s spread. The interior file should be single pages in the order they’ll be read.
- What is the minimum and maximum number of pages my custom portfolio can have?
-
Your portfolio must have a minimum of 12 sheets and can have a maximum of 202 pages (200 interior pages plus two for the cover, which equals 100 sheets plus two for the cover).
