SAFE ZONE

All text and images must be kept inside this 3/8" (.375) margin.

Anything left outside this box may be lost in the bind.

*(3/8" is the minimum safe zone. It is recommended to use 1/2" to 3/4" to

get the "standard" margin of a book.)

Design Tip: If you desire to perfectly center your page, please allow 1/4" extra

on binding side of each page
