The outer guides represent where the printed cover will fold over the board material.
Place text or important parts of an image at least 1/4 inch away from outer guides. To ensure a full bleed, the image must extend to the edge of the document (beyond the guideline).
The two guides in the center represent the spine. You may place text or an image in this area, or you may leave it blank.
The back cover has a space reserved for the required barcode. A grey or blue box is used as the placeholder in your Photoshop file. YOU MUST DELETE THIS LAYER IN PHOTOSHOP BEFORE SAVING THE FILE.
Do not place text or important parts of an image in this area, as it will be covered by the barcode. Our system will automatically overprint the barcode in the reserved area.
Place any text at least 1/2 inch away from the spine guideline to avoid text being printed in the folding crease.

The first page of the book is a single side. It falls on the right side of the spread. The left side will be left white automatically.

The left guide is part of the gutter. All Book Bound books will loose approximately 1/4 inch per side in the gutter area.

The three guides in the center represent the gutter. Approximately 1/2 inch of the image area will be hidden in the gutter. Do not place text or important parts of an image in this area. It usually looks fine to have parts of an image go through the gutter, as long as it's not important information - like someone's face!
