- A spiral notebook cover prints at 6.03 x 8.45 inches (1810 x 2534 px at 300 DPI). Here is how to keep your design clear of the coil.
- The cover is 6.03 x 8.45 in — a portrait shape close to 1:1.4.
- Keep artwork out of the left binding strip. Roughly the first 0.6 in of width is coil territory.
- That effectively shifts your usable centre right of the true centre. Composing to the geometric middle makes the design look pushed toward the coil.
Notebook covers have one hazard and it is on the left. The spiral binding punches through the edge of the printed cover, so anything placed near it is either hidden behind the coil or cut by the holes.

These are the actual print areas Printify produces for this product, not estimates. Pixel values are at 300 DPI, the resolution print files should be supplied at.
| Print position | Inches | Centimetres | Pixels @ 300 DPI |

Placement that survives the real product
- The cover is 6.03 x 8.45 in — a portrait shape close to 1:1.4.
- Keep artwork out of the left binding strip. Roughly the first 0.6 in of width is coil territory.
- That effectively shifts your usable centre right of the true centre. Composing to the geometric middle makes the design look pushed toward the coil.
The rule that overrides every chart: print areas are the maximum, not the target. Filling the entire area is almost never the best-looking choice — most strong designs use 70–85% of the available width and sit slightly above the geometric centre, because that is where the eye expects them on a worn or photographed product.
