Printing

Recommended paper
Matte cardstock, 300 gsm

Folds cleanly and holds its shape around a case. Sometimes sold as 12pt or 100lb cover, but searching by gsm is more reliable. Lighter stock folds more easily but feels flimsier; score the fold lines first so 300 gsm does not crack.

Fits on
Tabloid, A3, 13×19
Scaling
Print at 100%

“Fit to page” and “shrink to fit” resize the artwork, so the finished piece will not match these measurements.
