Frequently asked questions
Why choose a square over an A-size?
A square stands out among the usual A-size publications and signals a modern, considered look. The equal-sided composition suits image-led and visual publications especially well, such as catalogues, lookbooks and concert programmes.
What is the magazine and spread size?
The finished size is 210 × 210 mm and the spread is 420 × 210 mm. The large, horizontal spread is excellent for panoramic images.
Why must the page count be divisible by four?
In a saddle-stitched magazine, a sheet is folded and stapled in the middle, so one sheet produces four pages. That's why the total page count must be divisible by four. We add blank pages if needed.
Should I deliver the artwork as single pages or spreads?
Deliver the artwork as single pages, not spreads – preferably as one PDF with all pages in the correct reading order. For example, a 16-page magazine is a 16-page PDF.
How fast will I get the magazines?
Delivery time depends on the page count and print run. Many magazines are ready in a few business days, faster when urgent – we'll give you a schedule when we check the artwork.
