A yearbook is a book that is published once a year and that contains information about the events and achievements of the previous year, usually concerning a particular place or organization. A yearbook can be student's personal statement, memoir of achievements, a record of major school's year events,etc.
Paper Stock and Weight
When it comes to yearbook printing, choosing the right paper stock and weight is crucial to ensure a high-quality end product. At Prime Printings, we offer a range of options to suit your needs. One popular choice is glossy or matte art paper. Glossy art paper has a smooth and shiny finish, giving your yearbook a vibrant and professional look. On the other hand, matte art paper has a more subtle and elegant appearance, perfect for a sophisticated yearbook design.
The weight of the paper is another important consideration. It determines the thickness and durability of your yearbook. We offer various weight options, such as 80gsm, 100gsm, and 128gsm,etc. The higher the gsm (grams per square meter), the thicker and sturdier the paper will be. For a premium feel, you may opt for a heavier weight, while a lighter weight can offer a more budget-friendly solution. Ultimately, the choice depends on your design preferences and budget constraints.

Yearbook Size
Yearbooks come in various sizes, but there are a few common dimensions that are widely used. The most popular size for yearbooks is 8.5" x 11". This size provides ample space for photos, text, and design elements, making it versatile for both small and large schools. Another common size is 7" x 10", which is slightly smaller but still offers a good amount of space for content.
Prime Printings also provide custom size service if you need. But it's important to consider the size of your yearbook when planning the layout and design. A larger size may allow for more creative freedom and larger images, but it also means a higher printing cost. On the other hand, a smaller size can be more cost-effective, but it may limit the amount of content you can include. Consider the purpose and audience of your yearbook to determine the ideal size that balances aesthetics and practicality.
Binding Ways
The binding method you choose for your yearbook can greatly impact its overall look and durability. At Prime Printings, we recommend three popular binding options: perfect binding, hardcover binding, and wire-o binding.
Perfect binding
Perfect binding is the most common and cost-effective option. It involves gluing the pages together and attaching a cover to the spine. This method allows for a clean and professional finish, but it may not be as durable as other binding methods.
Hardcover binding
Hardcover binding is a more premium option that provides added protection and longevity to your yearbook. It involves attaching a hardcover to the book block, ensuring a sturdy and durable final product. Hardcover binding is ideal for yearbooks that are meant to be cherished for years to come.
Wire-o binding
Wire-o binding, also known as spiral binding, offers a flexible and convenient option for yearbooks. It involves inserting a metal or plastic coil through punched holes in the pages, allowing the book to lay flat when opened. This binding method is great for yearbooks that need to be easily flipped through, such as those used for reference or frequent use.
Consider the purpose and budget of your yearbook when choosing the binding method. Each option has its advantages and can cater to different needs.
Artwork Tips
The artwork design of your custom yearbook plays a crucial role in capturing attention and creating a memorable reading experience. Here are some tips to consider when designing artwork for your bibles:
Correct size: Make sure your file is in the correct size before sending it to yearbook printing company.
Image resolution: all images used in your book design must be saved out at 300dpi for the highest quality printed result.
Color format: Your file must be saved out in CMYK color format to ensure print correctly.
Bleed: If you have any artwork that runs to the edge of paper, you need to set up a 0.125 inches bleed to all four sides of your artwork.
Outlined fonts: Outline your fonts in Illustrator or Photoshop, and do the same in Indesign or package your Indesign file to send over.
File types: Usually, we prefer PDF file, but also accept Illustrator or Photoshop and Indesign files.
