When creating the print files, please observe the special characteristics for brochures:
- Arranging the pages:

  - we will need a PDF file with consecutive single pages
  - if you work in a layout program with spreads, please export them as consecutive single pages afterwards
- Note: With a 6-page cover, you must create the outside pages shorter. Please find details on that in Special Characteristics.
- Spot finish cover: Please observe our requirements for the print files
- special colours should be created as separate colour swatches (e.g HKS42) in the artwork file
- Note: 32 inside pages equal 16 sheets (each with a front and a reverse side)

Artwork information

Colouring: printable in one-colour on both sides, four colours or five colours, and in spot colours
Binding: high-quality saddle stitch or loop stitch binding
Please observe that in higher numbers of pages we recommend our higher quality adhesive binding catalogues (depending on the paper of the inner page, for example starting at 64, 84, or 100 pages). Saddle stitch is possible up to 128 pages, too, but the quality is much better with adhesive binding.
printed products on recycled paper are carbon neutral at no extra cost – learn more
additional options:
- control copy: a non-colour-accurate print for the visual inspection of the sequence of pages, margins and positioning of pages
- colour proof front page: a colour-accurate, digital print of the front page according to ISO 12647-2
- will be shipped to the specified invoice address
Note on optional bundling: From a certain brochure thickness (= paper weight + page count), we reserve the right to reduce the number of bundles.
