Spine Calculator

Why Exact Spine Measurement Matters

When it comes to perfect-bound books, accuracy in spine width is key. A spine that’s too narrow can result in awkward overhangs or deformities, while one that’s too wide creates visible gaps or misalignment. Our Spine Calculator ensures your book looks and functions at its best, every time.

How the Spine Calculator Works

Our intuitive tool calculates the precise spine width based on the number of pages and paper type you select:

1. Select your inner pages material – whether uncoated, silk, or gloss, with options from 80gsm to 170gsm.
2. Choose your cover stock – available in 250gsm to 350gsm across uncoated, silk, and gloss finishes.
3. Input the total page count (including covers).
4. Click “Calculate Spine” to instantly receive the exact measurement needed.

This information guides your designers to position text and images safely, avoiding any print bleed or trim issues.
