Requesting a Cover Dieline

When you print with MCRL, we provide you with a custom cover dieline template with your project’s exact specifications. This template will show all the essential markings for your cover, and any additional features like a dust jacket, interactive elements, unique decorating, or packaging.

What is a dieline template?

A dieline is a guide that helps you design your book so everything fits just right. It shows where to place your layout, artwork, and text to match the final printed version. Whether you’re making a board book, a planner, a novel, or graphic novel, using a dieline ensures your cover is printed without margin issues.

MCRL Overseas Group Cover DieLine Template: Note: ensure your text and artwork are within the green area. The pink area will wrap around the board so the pink should have the same design as the green or be a continuation of the artwork. Click the image to enlarge
