Configuring Margins

Preparing your document for printing and binding is easy. Here we show you how to configure margins on your pages and how to allow for A3 pages and other outsized pages that you may have such as maps or large data tables.

Setting the Margins for Printing

For single-sided printing, the left-hand margin is required to be 3cm or greater to allow for the binding process. Each of the other three margins should be 2.5cm.

For Double Sided printing all four margins should be set as 2.5cm.

To set the page margins open the Page Layout dialog (Layout >>Margins >> Custom Margins - OR - File >> Print >> Page Setup)  In the Page Layout dialog box, you can change the margins as shown.

When you click OK, the document margins will be resized to what you have selected. This may change where page breaks and diagrams are placed in your document so recheck the layout to ensure you are happy with it.

How to fold A3 sheets for binding

Dealing with A3 or outsize size pages

All A3 or other pages/maps/diagrams larger than A4 should have a margin at the top and left-hand side of at least 2 cm, as shown below. Please advise us if you have any sheets bigger than A4 and we will fold them for you to ensure that the folds are not trimmed off in the binding process and that they fold out as you intend.

What Our Customers Say

I used Kenny's bindery to print a customised book. I am based in Luxembourg and I had given up with a local company because they were taking weeks to reply to my simple questions. Then I found Kenny's Bindery, and they were the absolute opposite.
Terri Allington
Outstanding service and quality, can't recommend them enough! I had a custom gift order and Caroline talked me through every step with amazing patience. I still can't believe how quickly they got it printed and shipped, and the quality of the products is just outstanding. Will definitely be back for any future orders.
