Leaflet sizes

• Maximum size: 475mm x 300mm

• For binding purposes, it is recommended that any loose inserts will be 15mm smaller on both the width and depth than the finished product
• No loose inserts can be undertaken for parallel (A5) work
• Minimum bulk of 2pp on 115gsm

An additional 3mm must be added at the spine edge for milling.

An additional allowance must be added to the foredge, head and tail as trimming allowance on bound-in inserts, which are maximum product size. The size of the allowance is dependant upon the particular publication requirements and should be obtained from the factory prior to the inserts being printed.

The required head or tail trim must be added depending on the way in which the publication is to be bound for inserts which are not maximum product size

All live matter must be at least 6mm from any trimmed edges. Minimum single leaf thickness of any perfect bound insert should be no less than 130 gsm.

It should be noted that it is not practical to place single leaf bound insert or 4pp section inside the front cover as section one, or inside back cover as final section. In situations where it is imperative that the single leaf insert or 4pp section must bind adjacent to either IFC or IBC, an additional charge may be made as a result of reduced running speeds on our high-speed binding line.

Inserts must arrive directly to our printers between the hours of 10am and 1pm Monday-Friday. Inserts will only be accepted within two weeks of publication date.

• Booking reference number (given by sales representative at time of booking)
