Custom Cookbook Design Tips
Helpful custom cookbook design tips and guidelines when publishing your cookbook.
Bleeds
The trim size of your cookbook is 5.5” x 8.5”. Any text on your cover must be within the 4.5” x 7.5” image area. If your design is to bleed off the page, it must extend at least 1/8” beyond the trim edge.
Photographs
You may submit original photographs or provide tiff or eps files saved at 300 dpi resolution. Please do not submit newspaper or magazine photos, low-resolution digital files, or photographs printed on your home or office printer, as the low quality would produce inferior results.
