How to upload your files

Please provide the print file for your wiro bound diaries as a single PDF. This must include all pages in order (outside front cover, inside front cover, 3, 4, 5, etc, inside back cover, outside back cover) as single pages, not spreads.

The maximum file upload is 2GB. Please contact our team if your file size is larger and we'll help you get your file into the workflow.

Please ensure that all fonts are embedded in your PDF file.

Colour

For best results, we recommend creating your artwork in CMYK Colour with 300dpi image resolution. Please be aware that uploaded RGB files will be converted to CMYK by our system, which may change some colours.

Black text should be set up with 100% black only to achieve the clearest printed text. If you are printing in greyscale, please set your artwork to greyscale prior to upload.

Cover

The cover of your wiro bound diary is actually made of four pages: the front cover, the inside front cover, the back cover, and the inside back cover. When designing the content for your cover, we recommend keeping any important details at least 12mm away from the punched edge.

If you choose to laminate your cover, only the outside spread (front and outside back pages) will be laminated.

Bleed

For all pages in your wiro bound diary, we ask for a 3mm bleed. We also recommend a 3mm quiet area inside of the edges of your page designs.Please refrain from adding any important content to this area. We also recommend a 12mm quiet area from the punched edge of your inner pages.

Binding

Wiro bound diaries are bound with wiro binding, which includes wire loops that perforate the edge of each page. This creates the need for a much larger quiet area to keep important content away from the binding edge.

Completing your order

Please ensure that you upload artwork in the correct size and with the correct number of pages before completing your order. You can add pages in multiples of 4, but if you do not have enough content to fill them all, you must add blank pages.

Please thoroughly check your proof before completing your order.
