Cover Templates

Download the specific Cover Template needed, as seen below. Please refer to the "Spine Chart" at the top of this page to correctly design your book.

Cover templates are basically the same size as your book with .125 bleed on all trim sides for all binding styles except hardcovers which require, .5" bleed for cover wrap. InstantPublisher accepts all size of books if your book size is not listed below.  You will be responsible for sizing the cover properly. InstantPublisher does a quick size inspection of all covers submitted.
