Boda Games Artwork Guidelines

Rulebooks are normally folded in the middle and stapled, this is commonly referred to as saddle stitched and used when there are more than 6 pages of content. A flyer or paper booklet can be folded in different ways depending on your preference. A single flyer can be printed on both sides, holding a max of 2 pages of content.

The amount of pages in a rulebook have to be a multiple of 4, as each sheet will have front and back printing and be folded vertically in the center of the page.

The bleed for rulebooks must be 3mm.

The margins of a saddle stitched rulebook depend on the amount of pages. Up to 28 pages the margins are 3mm, and from 32 pages until 64 pages the margin must be increased to 6mm. Keep in mind that these are minimum numbers, and content very close to the edge of the page near the center might be difficult to read. Therefore, we recommend increasing the margin, especially as the amount of pages gets higher.

If your rulebook exceeds 64 pages, saddle stitched might not be the best solution. Please ask your account manager about the different alternatives available for binding the pages.

Files should be submitted as a multi-page PDF, where each page of the PDF represents 1 page of the booklet. Boda Games graphics department will do the layout in terms of putting them on the left and right side of the pages.
