• Image Safety: Any type or image beyond this measurement runs the risk of being cropped off in the binding process. No type should be less than 1/4” from the edge of the ads.

• Binding: Saddle wire. Page trim size: 8 x 10 7/8”. Bleed allowance: 1/8” on each side. Safety for bleed ads: 1/4” inside trim. Gutter safety: 3/32” (When a headline crosses over the gutter in a spread, a 3/32” total gap is necessary to read type correctly.) Page is three columns, each column 2 1/4” wide.

• Due to mechanical variations in the binding process, the magazine advises against crossing the gutter with letters or designs that demand near perfect alignment.
