This page contains detailed information about the dimensions for the design of the cover and dust jacket of casebound books.

You can use the calculator to determine all the measurements for the design areas shown in the layout plan, such as front, spine, or flaps.

You first need to know:

• number of pages of the book
• trim size
• paper colour

Layout plan for the cover

Please create the cover of the casebound book, which is firmly glued to the cardboard, according to the layout plan shown above – as a single graphics file for digital camera-ready copy, and on a single sheet for hard copy.

The design is done in colour and without placement limitations for laminated hardcovers.

Coloured Efalin paper is used for the covers of casebound books with dust jacket. It can only be imprinted in black. The fold areas must be left blank.

Layout plan for the dust jacket

Please create the dust jacket of a hardcover according to the layout plan shown here.
