📏 How to Calculate Dimensions for Cutting Binder’s Board
Remember - you can cut the board down but you can't add more on!
1️⃣ Measure Your Text Block (Book Pages)
You'll need three key dimensions:
Height (H) – Measure the height of the text block. (e.g. 19.6cm)
Width (W) – Measure the width of the text block. (e.g. 12.8 cm)
Thickness (T) – Measure the spine thickness when the book is closed. (e.g 4.2 cm)
2️⃣ Cut the Front & Back Covers
Height = H + 3 to 5 mm overhang at top and bottom. (e.g. 19.6 cm --> 20.6 cm)
Width = W + 2 to 4 mm overhang at the fore edge. (e.g. 12.8 cm --> 13.1 cm)
3️⃣ Cut the Spine Board (If Using One)
Height = Same as the covers. (e.g. 20.6cm)
Width = T + 1-2 mm for flexibility. (e.g. 4.2 cm --> 4.4 cm)
