Album Cover Dimensions for Wedding Albums

An album cover is usually printed at the page size of the album plus wrap and bleed, which depends on the cover type and binding.

For a 12x36 album, the closed book is 12x18, so many cover designs are prepared at 12x18 or as a full wrap including the spine.

Ask your lab for its exact cover template, because spine width depends on the number of sheets.

Keep text and faces inside the safe area, well away from the wrap edges.

Use a strong single portrait and simple typography; covers with too many photos look cluttered when printed.
