Calculate before designing
White paper spine width is page count × 0.002252 inches; cream uses × 0.0025. Full width is twice the trim width, plus spine, plus 0.25-inch bleed. Height is trim height plus 0.25 inches. At 240 pages and 6×9 inches, white paper requires a 12.79048×9.25-inch wrap.
A reference file is not a finished cover. To assemble your image and writing, use the full-wrap editor. You can then download the complete single-edition PDF free. These files are RGB; check the KDP previewer and order a proof before publishing.
