After design

Once you’re happy with your design, please place your order! Once you’ve received your order confirmation email, you’ll need to send your artwork to us at artwork@instantprint.co.uk, making sure you tell us your order reference number in the email, and we’ll get back to you ASAP with a proof for you to check and approve.

If your file is over 20MB, you will need to use WeTransfer to send your artwork to us as it will be too big to send via email.

Here’s how to set up your notebook artwork for print.

• The finished size of an A4 notebook is 210mm x 297mm, so set your artwork up at 216mm x 303mm to add 3mm bleed to both sides
• Set up your artwork as separate pages in the same document
• Add an extra 9mm to the binding side for the safe zone
• See our notebook guide for more help
• Set your colour mode as CMYK
• Use high resolution images (at least 300dpi)
• Embed or flatten your fonts

How many pages are in my A4 notebooks?

Each notebook has 100 pages - plenty of space to write a whole host of important notes. You’ll also be able to choose between plain or lined for the inside pages.

How do I upload my A4 lined notebook design?

It’s quick and easy to get your artwork to us once your design is complete. Upload your notebook artwork after placing your order. To do this, simply complete your order and then email your artwork to our Studio team at artwork@instantprint.co.uk, who’ll then set it up for print for you.
