• Trim size (eg A4, A5, 105mm x 148 mm)
• Orientation (ie portrait or landscape)
• Number of pages (include front and back inner and outer covers)
• Any special information (such as is there a flap on the front or back cover)
• Printing (eg full colour/CMYK or additional spot colours)
• Material (coated or uncoated, weight of material. Often a cover will be heavier than text pages)
• Binding (how will the pages be held together, eg stapled, PUR bound)
• Quantity (number of copies to be printed)
• Schedule (state when artwork will be available and when delivery is required).

A Print specification template is available.
