Raised band spine application will require you to submit a 1-page spread PDF for the artwork.

When setting up your document, you will need to follow the casebound cover setup guide.

  1. You will need to apply the band shapes in 100% black to the spine area. The background should be white.
  2. The bands must be at least 2mm thick with 1mm spacing between elements to produce accurately.
