BOOKLETS
PAGE SIZES
A6 105 x 148mm A5 148.5 x 210mm A4 210 x 297mm

PAGE ORDER
Please supply your booklets in single-page format running in the correct order from start
to finish i.e. a 20 page booklet will run from pages 1-20, page 1 being the front cover and page
20 being the back cover (please do NOT place the back cover on Page 1). Please do not supply
your booklet as printers’ pairs or as spreads.
CREEP
The closer you get to the centre pages of a booklet, the more has to be trimmed off
the page edges. Our imposition software does make allowances for this. However, it is
recommended that you do not have text (esp. page numbers) or images too close to
the edges of your booklet pages. A gap of around 5mm or more is recommended.

PDF CREATION
Please create PDF and EPS files from vector packages (Corel, Freehand,
Quark, Illustrator, etc). Please do not save files from vector packages
as Tiffs or Jpegs.
Please create Tiffs and Jpegs from bitmap packages (Photoshop,
Photopaint, PhotoImpact, etc). Please do not save files from bitmap
packages as PDFs or EPSs.
PLEASE NOTE: EPS files MUST be supplied with crop marks to show
where the job is to be cut.
PDF CREATION
When creating your PDF to submit for print please use a recognised PDF-maker such as
Acrobat Distiller to make your PDF. Using a design package’s own PDF maker may result in
your job being rejected.
Always save as a High Quality or Print Quality PDF.
If using Acrobat Distiller then choose PDF/X-1a:2001 from the drop-down list.
When creating your PDF please embed all fonts.
If your job has a bleed please ensure you chose a large enough PDF page size to
accommodate the bleed i.e. if you design an A6 flyer with a bleed, make your PDF page size A5.
Please create your PDF with crop marks if possible.
Please supply all files as 1Up as we will deal with the imposition at this end.
