As with our litho range, you need to allow for creep. Bear in mind that with the Thin White Border products, the thickness of the border will vary throughout the booklet due to the creep being trimmed off – the thicker the booklet, the more evident the variation will be.
Typically, the border will get thinner towards the middle and may even disappear altogether. It’s best to be considerate of this when designing; avoid elements bleeding up to the border, leave the background white for best results.
Avoid large areas of colour crossing the spine. When the cover is folded it’s inevitable that the surface of the paper will crack as we are unable to pre-crease on this product. If design elements cross the spine this will be more obvious. And the heavier the colour, the more pronounced it will be.
Where possible avoid elements crossing the booklet spine on all pages. If you do have a design that has elements that must cross the spine then please follow the advice for litho Booklets, about elements crossing the spine.
