Binding Margin & Spine WidthPaper & Printing
Compute precise book spine widths and safety creepage margins based on page count, caliper thickness, and bind style.
Spine calculations are critical for designing cover spine artwork. If saddle-stitching, inner margins must allow for "creepage", as pages inside a fold extend outward past the cover.
Perfect specifications: Your bundle contains 80 sheets of paper stacking together. Perfect Bound. Require score clearances of 6mm alongside spine for hinges.
