Paperback covers will be printed on white, 250gsm (80lb) offset, enamel paper and laminated. Hardbacks are bound in 250gsm (80lb) crème-white endpapers and bound to case using 88pt chip boards. Hardbacks are dressed with headbands and footbands and bound into either a printed 4-colour laminated cover or a durable Kivar acrylic latex-saturated linen weave cover with gold foil stamped spine.

Completed books of 76 pages or less have special requirements regarding the design of cover art. Since a low-page-count book is so “thin”, it cannot be designed with spine art or text. No straight edge artwork or text should be placed within a half-inch of the top, bottom, or side of the front or back cover. For more details, refer to the templates below.
