Perfect bound gutter spread safety allowance

A common design error is to crowd the finished edge with text and/or graphics. 

This makes the finished product harder to read and less visually pleasing overall.

If you open a book, you will notice an obvious margin that separates the text from the edge of the page.

This is commonly referred to as ‘gutter’. Open a magazine and you will find the same thing- there will be elements that do bleed to edge of the page, but everything else is kept a certain distance away from the edge.
The following is a suggestion on the amount of ‘gutter’ use in your design, with a minimum requirement for IFC spread which is often at least a 6mm away from the paper edge to improve legibility and to minimize accidental cropping.
