Catalog Cover Spine Thickness
Use this catalog cover spine thickness tool when you have measured values for pages, paper mm, cover mm. It applies a transparent mathematical relationship to those values to return an answer in mm. Unlike a prediction or recommendation, this is a calculation from your inputs. Binding method and compression affect spine thickness. Enter a different scenario to see how this particular quantity changes; check the assumptions before using it in a project.
How to use this calculator
- Use exact measurements and consistent units for pages, paper mm, cover mm.
- Enter each quantity; blank, nonnumeric and out-of-range inputs are not accepted.
- Compare the reported mm quantity against your own data and the limitations below.
Formula for Catalog Cover Spine Thickness
mm = pages/2*paper_mm+2*cover_mm. Inputs are expressed in the units shown by the labels.
- This uses a direct print relationship and does not retrieve remote data, forecasts or individual account information.
- Binding method and compression affect spine thickness.
Worked examples
Worked example — Catalog Cover Spine Thickness
Enter Pages = 240, Paper mm = 0.105, Cover mm = 0.65.
Apply pages/2*paper_mm+2*cover_mm.
Calculated value: approximately 13.9 mm.
Understanding the result
The example produces about 13.9 mm; this is a mathematical output for the example inputs, not an observed result for your project.
