Paper, Cover & Layout Tips

Interior Stocks

Uncoated for a natural novel feel, or satin for a touch more contrast. We’ll recommend grammages that balance opacity with comfortable bulk.

Cover Protection

Choose gloss or matte lamination for a professional finish that resists scuffs in bags and on shelves.

Typesetting Considerations

Use generous inner margins, comfortable line spacing and chapter opening pages with consistent hierarchy. Add 3 mm bleed only where artwork runs to the edge.

How Pricing Works

• No minimum order quantity
• Trim size & total page count
• Black & white vs colour pages (for illustrated memoirs)

Use the Premium Soft Cover, Budget Paperbacks or Hard Cover calculators, or start with an Unbound Proof.
