Dust Jacket Artwork Setup / Layout Guide
Because we take a single sheet and wrap it around the hardcover case of your book, dust jacket artwork should be created as a single spread. Dust jackets can be tricky to set up since they're slightly larger than the book itself, so be sure to double check the numbers in this guide as you're setting up your files.
First, your main measurements are your Front Cover and Back Cover. For these covers, the width should be the width of your inside pages plus 0.3 inches, and the height should be the height of your inside pages plus 0.4 inches.
Next, your spine should be calculated, plus 0.04 inches to account for the extra thickness of the paper.
The size of your flaps is a matter of taste, although most dust jacket flaps are approximately 1/3 the width of the cover. Flaps must be at least 2.83 inches minimum.
As with your inside pages, you must include 0.125 inches of bleed around the edge of your dust jacket that will be trimmed off.
Finally, keep in mind that dust jackets, like all offset printing, exhibit minute variance in their production. This means that you should be careful to keep important text and graphics away from the edges between sections, since printed elements will often shift a millimeter or two in final production.
