It\u2019s important to provide the interior page file in the order the pages will be read. In this file:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Page one is the first right-hand body page<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Page two is the back of page one<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Page three is the front of the second body page, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">What size should my document be in my design file?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each page of your document should be the same size as what you ordered. For example, if you are ordering a 5-1\/2&#8243; x 8-1\/2&#8243; book, the pages in your document should also be 5-1\/2&#8243; x 8-1\/2&#8243;. The pages in your document should also be in the same orientation as the orientation your ordered (ex. landscape and landscape).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Do I need to include bleed?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Please include an 1\/8&#8243; bleed on all four sides of the page. You&#8217;ll also want to include a 3\/8&#8243; text\/image safety margin on the spine edge and a 1\/4&#8243; safety margin on all three outer edges of each interior page.

When designing your perfect bound book, all text and imagery should be inside this line to avoid the page bend\/curve when your book is open. The pink line is also used to indicate the binding\/glue edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1632\" height=\"2100\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;max-h=1024&amp;max-w=796&amp;s=21986ab348fd98eb899231e343900bc3\" alt=\"A design proof for a perfect bound book with safety zone lines.\" class=\"wp-image-31109\" style=\"object-fit:cover;width:217px;height:246px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1632&amp;s=5874f90adfeec075f11d8478af68eb4f 1632w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=300&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=233&amp;s=20049d63ce62ae1c887fd9ea259cfcfb 233w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=1024&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=796&amp;s=d1f5b4eb519cb85a4d153258dbea572a 796w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=988&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=768&amp;s=045d3f4b78cd5d362ffd11417d1cd177 768w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=1536&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1194&amp;s=6fd9d62531aee79d658cd28ff82b3c6a 1194w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Screenshot-2025-09-18-at-2.19.10-PM.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=2048&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1592&amp;s=6a620231ec4e38073390336b3e2f3d66 1592w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1632px) 100vw, 1632px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">What\u2019s the difference between pages and sheets? Do I include the cover when calculating them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A page is one side or face of a piece of paper. A sheet is two pages. For example, page one is the front cover, page two is the inside of the front cover, page three is the first interior page, etc. For perfect bound booklets, please enter the sheet count (to calculate the number of sheets, divide the number of pages by two). Then add two more for the cover (whether it\u2019s a blank or a printed page). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your file should have twice as many pages as sheets ordered. For example, if you order a book with 16 interior pages, your document should contain 32 single pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learn more: <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/support\/printing-basics\/how-to-count-pages-and-sheets\">Pages, Sheets &amp; How to Count Them<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Should I submit my PDF in spreads or individual pages?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>PDFs for perfect bound books must include a cover file as a spread (to include spine width and\/or any design or print over the spine) and an interior file that has individual pages in the order they\u2019ll be read.

Just remember that the image that\u2019s crossing over needs to be shifted 1\/4&#8243; out from the spine. We also recommend ordering a hard proof to review the crossover.

We recommend books have at least 46 pages, and they can be up to 2&#8243; thick.

We recommend a minimum spine width of 0.1\u201d. You\u2019ll see the estimated spine width under the Binding section on the product page (it changes as you make your paper stock and sheet count selections).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please include this estimated width in the total spread, leaving the interior gutter (the blank space where two pages meet at the binding) blank of any printing for the glue to adhere to the cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">How do I choose the right booklet binding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider page count and usage when choosing a book binding. Smaller page counts are well-suited for a saddle stitch binding, larger page counts work well with a perfect binding, and our coil bound books can handle either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a clean, professional look, perfect bound books are ideal, while saddle stitch booklets allow for uninterrupted imagery across two pages. Our coil bound books open flat for a convenient turn of the pages.

Our printing process reads all interior pages as a whole, and therefore cannot distinguish between one page being full-color and the rest black-only.

Providing a stronger bond on digital print than other glues, PUR requires a longer curing time (at least 24 hours), which is why perfect bound books have a longer turnaround time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">Do you provide ISBN numbers to self-publish books?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>We do not issue ISBN numbers, but if you provide your own with your print-ready file, we can print the barcode on your book for you.

For booklets with 40 pages or more, we recommend using the same paper weight for the cover and interior pages.

However, we can place blanks wherever you\u2019d like within your booklet.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:18px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"waypoint t-sink s-sink\" id=\"spiral-coil-booklets\">\n    \n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spiral Coil Booklets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0097.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&fit=crop&h=682&ixlib=php-3.3.0&w=1024&s=4816ad3b5380a8cc38a132884d59162e\" alt=\"Spiral Coil Booklet Printing\" class=\"wp-image-27920\" srcset=\"https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0097.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=682&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1024&amp;s=4816ad3b5380a8cc38a132884d59162e 1024w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0097.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=200&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=300&amp;s=bf2aebc6cb0a2ddb8f2283017781b8ad 300w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0097.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;fit=crop&amp;h=512&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=768&amp;s=b2d9306ae902f4270ead7fd9999da770 768w, https:\/\/smartpresssupport.imgix.net\/support\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/IMG_0097.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;ixlib=php-3.3.0&amp;w=1280&amp;s=26d66fe2a2168e3016ee53ea850379e3 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">How do I arrange pages for online printing?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For your <a href=\"https:\/\/smartpress.com\/offering\/spiral-bound-booklet-printing\">Spiral Coil Booklet<\/a>, please provide one file that includes your cover and interior pages. We request that the file be sent as single pages, in one multi-page PDF.

Please include an additional 1\/8\u2033 around the perimeter of each page to account for bleed. For example, if you are ordering a 5-1\/2&#8243; x 8-1\/2\u201d booklet, your file size with bleed should be 5-3\/4&#8243; x 8-3\/4\u201d.

Do I include the cover when calculating them?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A page is one side or face of a piece of paper. A sheet is two pages. For example, page one is the front cover, page two is the inside of the front cover, page three is the first interior page, etc. To calculate the number of sheets, divide the number of pages by two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your booklet has eight spreads, then your document should have 16 pages. And if you&#8217;d like not printing on a specific page, simply include a blank page in your document.

The maximum number of pages depends on which paper stock you choose (the thicker the stock, the fewer the pages). These books can also have a maximum bound edge of 17&#8243; (whether left side (H) is bound or top side (W) is bound).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-small-font-size\">How do I choose the right booklet binding?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider page count and usage when choosing a book binding. Smaller page counts are well-suited for a saddle stitch binding, larger page counts work well with perfect bindings, and our coil bound books can handle either.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a clean, professional look, perfect bound books are ideal, while saddle stitch booklets allow for uninterrupted imagery across two pages. Our coil bound books open flat for a convenient turn of the pages, with a spiral coil that features one continuous plastic coil or individual wire coils binding the pages together through square drill holes.
