Pre Printed Thesis for Binding

1. The thesis pages must be pre-collated with pages in the correct order. We will not order the pages for you.
2. You must allow for at least a 1cm gutter for where the bind will occupy. This means that if your pages are going to be bound on the left side of the sheet, expect that you will lose at least 1 cm from the left side of the sheet with binding.
3. All pages will be trimmed by at least 1mm on each side. Expect that you will lose 1mm from each edge of the sheet.
4. Ensure that you store your copy safely so that it does not collect dust or water while transporting it to us.
5. Ensure that you store your copy safely so that it does not rip or wrinkle while transporting it to us.

Additional Notes

1. It is possible to bind platic sheets or non-punched sleeves or even thick card into the book. This sometimes adds character or has a practical purpose. However, we will not modify these sheets and we take no liability for the book not being able to open correctly. It is recomended that you prototype the bind at least once.
