Paperback Wrap Math and Layout Pack
Trim, bleed, spine and wrap measurements plus layout zones for full paperback covers, in plain text and CSV.
Paperback Wrap Math and Layout Pack gives self-publishers the numbers and layout rules for a full paperback cover wrap (back cover, spine and front cover) so you can build it in the design program you already use. What is included: - trim_sizes.csv: seven common trim sizes with bleed, safe inset and wrap height values. - spine_examples.csv: worked spine and wrap sizes for sample page counts and paper types, matched to the trim sizes. - spine_math.md: the formulas, so you can calculate the spine and wrap for your own page count and paper. - layout_zones.md: where each panel, bleed area, safe area and barcode area sits on the wrap, plus the guides to draw. - preflight_checklist.txt: checks to run before you upload to your printer. What it does not do: this version contains no editable design files (no SVG, PSD or InDesign templates). It does not check your artwork and does not replace your printer's own specifications. The paper caliper values are illustrative examples; confirm them with your printer before you print. This is measurement and layout reference material, not legal, tax or professional design advice. Created with AI assistance.
