Testimonial about our Scrapbook |
"This an absolutely awesome service to offer Digital Scrapbookers in NZ. When I created this book for my son I had it printed overseas by a reputable company but it came at a high price. The service you are offering is exceptional! Once I downloaded the software and loaded my pages into it, I couldn't believe that within a click of a button the book was ordered. These books are definitely on a par with the other company quality wise but they are way cheaper in price. It is fabulous being able to turn to a NZ company that fulfills my requirements. Thank You So Much - I look forward to having many more books printed ". - Tracy Little |

Wrap Around Cover
This diagram shows the layout you will need to use if you create a cover with an image that wraps right around the scrapbook cover from the front to the back. The image needs to be made to these dimensions to enable it to wrap around the cover, to the inside, which is normal in books of this type. |

Separate front and back image cover
This diagram shows the layout you will need to use if you create a cover with a separate image for the front and back covers. The images are framed in either white or gray and the template that does this is available in the software. |

Standard 8" square page for Scrapbook
This diagram shows the layout you will need to use for the pages. It includes 2.5mm bleed which is standard on all our templates. |
Bleed
This diagram shows the amount of your image or photo that will be either covered up by the edge of our templates or trimmed off the edge of a page when your books are bound. Bleed is a name that is used in the printing trade to refer to the amount an image has to be made bigger, or bled past the edge of where it will be cut when being finished in a guillotine. The crop lines, or marks, show where the cut will take place. 2.5mm is consistent throughout all of our photobooks. |
