Design A Workbook

PrintNinja recommends following these industry standards to design a workbook with dry-erase pages.

How to design a workbook

Because the pages of a dry-erase workbook are so thick (due to the glossy, double-sided lamination on the thick 14pt cover-wight paper that gives them their dry-erase board effect), wire binding is the best choice – this will allow your reader to easily open your workbook so that it lays flat on a surface, making it easier to write in.

• • Binding: Wire bound
  • Size: 8.5 inches x 11 inches, photo shows 7 inches x 9.5 inches
  • Cover Finish: Gloss lamination
  • Cover Weight: 14pt cover
  • Interior Paper Weight: 14pt cover

The interior paper has to be thick in order to apply a lamination finish to your interior paper. That’s why we recommend a 14pt weight – though this weight of paper is usually used for covers of books, here, this weight of paper supports the lamination. This finish allows you to use dry-erase markers, and makes each page re-usable – just erase when you’re done!

• • Interior Paper Coating: Gloss, double-sided lamination

Double-Sided lamination adds a dry erase board effect for reuse.
