Everything you need to know to create a print-ready flipbook in Flipsnack.
Besides sharing your Flipsnack publications online, you might want to print them and share them physically with your readers. In what follows, I will share some information about how to prepare your documents prior to printing them.
When it comes to creating your publication in Flipsnack, there are two ways of doing so:
1. Upload your PDF file in Flipsnack and then edit it
2. Create the design from scratch in Flipsnack's Design Studio.
Let’s take a look at both of these options.
Create a print-ready PDF file to upload to Flipsnack
The following guidelines will tell you how to prepare your PDF file so you can upload it in Flipsnack to make it print-ready for your readers:
-
The PDF you upload must contain only single pages because pages exported as spreads will not be accepted.
-
The resolution of the file should be 300 DPI for the best results.
-
Create the file with a bleed of 0.125 inches and place the text at least 0.39 inches from the margin.
Important: Please take note that some colors on the printed version might differ slightly from the online version due to the physical composition of the paper.
Create a print-ready design in Flipsnack
The following tips will tell you how to make a print-ready publication in Flipsnack’s Design Studio:
-
Choose the proper page size before starting the design process.
-
Pay close attention to the margins, and make sure that there is enough space for printing. Keep a small distance between the text and the margins.
-
Upload high-quality images as the images in the printed document, depending on the quality of the images you’ve uploaded in the Design Studio.
Important: We advise leaving at least 1 cm of free space alongside the borders of your page so to avoid important content being cut.
Important: If you are using Peecho to print your publications, please do not add cut marks or bleeds, as Peecho will generate those themselves. Peecho will also generate a blank spine. If you intend to print at a larger scale, maybe consider reading our introduction to printing with Peecho article.
