During our Prepress process, your booklet files will be adjusted for creep. Therefore, you don't need to worry about it. Our team will thoroughly inspect your file to ensure it is perfect before printing.
In the book publishing industry, "creep" refers to the phenomenon where the inner pages of a printed piece (such as a book) appear to shift toward the spine as the number of pages increase. This is because the folded pages in the center of the book take up more space than the outer pages, causing the innermost pages to extend slightly beyond the others. This effect is more noticeable in thicker books and can lead to pages being cut off or hidden when the book is trimmed to its final size. To account for creep, printers will adjust the layout and margin sizes to ensure that the content remains visible and properly aligned after the trimming process.
