Artwork guide

We print your PDF exactly as you upload it, so please set it up as below and check it carefully before ordering.

Size and pages

  • Page size: A5 (148 × 210mm). If your design runs to the edge, add 3mm bleed on every side.
  • Page count: 4, 8, 12 or 16 pages, including the front and back covers. Blank pages are fine.
  • Page order: single pages in reading order — front cover first, back cover last. Please don't upload side-by-side spreads.
  • File type: PDF only.

Before you order

Check names, dates, spelling and photo order. When you upload, we check your page count and size straight away, but we don't read or edit your content.

Bookmarks

Size: 50 × 150mm, plus 3mm bleed on every side (56 × 156mm artwork). Supply a 2-page PDF: page 1 is the front, page 2 is the back. Printed full colour on both sides on 300gsm gloss card. Keep text at least 4mm inside the edge so nothing is trimmed off.
