Ask MagCloud: Create a PDF

Can I customize the spine of my MagCloud publication?

On half-fold and saddle stitch bound MagCloud publications, the front and back cover will meet at the center of the spine. On Wire-O bound publications, 0.125" will be trimmed off the inside edges of all pages and the wire coil will act as the spine.

For perfect bound MagCloud publications you can choose to fill the spine with a solid color, or upload your own spine design, after uploading your publication’s PDF. Look for the spine options in the Binding section after uploading.

To fill the spine with a color, click the background color box and you will be given a chart to select your spine color. For perfect bound publications over 80 pages you have the additional option of a colored spine with text. Simply enter the text you want to appear on the spine, and then choose colors for the text and spine.

If you prefer to design a spine yourself click Upload a file for the spine. You’ll then see a downloadable PNG template. Save your design as a PNG, sRGB JPG, or PDF file. (Do not upload a CMYK JPG or else the spine may not print as expected). Then click to upload your spine and use Preview Spine to make sure the spine looks as expected.
