Customized Process
Please submit a high resolution (250-300 dpi) electronic file of your selected customized options in a format such as .tiff, .eps, or .jpeg. Your electronic file can be submitted on a 3.5 inch disk, ZIP disk, CD-ROM or via email to graphicdesign@perma-bound.com (5MB or less attachment size.) These files must be compatible with QuarkXpress, Adobe Photoshop, or Adobe Illustrator. Text files may be submitted in Microsoft Word. Special fonts may be included, but must be Macintosh compatible. Please mail a hardcopy of your artwork for reference. We will submit the cover design to you for approval before producing your books.
Cost Details
Perma-Bound creates your unique school cover for a one-time set up
fee based on the number of titles on your first order. The set up costs
are $50 for orders of 40-99 of the same title and $30 for orders of 100
or more of the same title. The price of each dictionary is the same as
our everyday low price for high quality durable prebound books.
