Cover and Jacket Calculator

When sending us your print files, your cover PDF must be separate from your contents PDF. Your cover should NOT be included in the contents of your book. Use the form below to calculate the dimensions for softcover book covers, dust jackets, and printed hardcover wraps.

Please note that we use thinner paper for thicker books in order to maintain binding strength. Books which are from 20 pages to 140 page thick will have our thickest paper (162gsm), books from 141 pages to 240 pages will use the middle thickness (148gsm), and finally books from 241 to 400 pages will use the thinnest paper (120gsm.)

If your book is a novel or poetry book which uses text weight paper, please email us to request a spine thickness.
