Frequently asked questions

What size is a 6 x 9 Lulu paperback cover?

It depends on page count. A 6 x 9 in Lulu paperback with 200 pages needs a full cover of 12.760 × 9.250 in (3829 × 2775 px at 300 DPI). The height is always 9.250 in.

How much bleed does a Lulu 6 x 9 cover need?

0.125 in on every outside edge. Keep text at least 0.5 in inside the trim line. Lulu recommends this 0.5 in safety margin on all covers.

Can I put text on the spine?

Lulu allows spine text from 81 pages. Leave some space between the text and each spine edge, because the fold can shift slightly in production.
