To print a book cover it requires precision and planning to ensure it looks professional and fits your book perfectly. Start by knowing your book’s final trim size, page count (for spine width), and binding type—these determine the full cover dimensions including front, back, and spine. Most print-on-demand services like Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, or Lulu offer templates to help you get the sizing right.



Design in CMYK color mode at 300 DPI for high-quality print results, and export your final cover as a print-ready PDF. Include bleed margins to prevent cutting errors. Double-check file requirements for each printer—meeting these specs is key to a flawless finish!
