French Folds
What are french folds? Are they right for your PrintNinja project?
For perfect bound books, we can create covers that fold over at the ends like the flaps of a dust jacket. French folds (sometimes known as double gate folds) are a great way to add extra information to your cover and give your book a polished, unique feel.

Ready to set up your file?
File setup is the same as setting up a normal cover, only you would add extra artwork for the folds on the left and right of the cover spread, similar to the flaps of a dust jacket. Keep in mind that there’s a small centering variance inherent in the printing process, so the folds of the flaps might be a millimeter or two off from your artwork. The size of your french fold flap is up to you. The example photo above shows a 6×9 inch book with 3 inch flaps.
