Innbindingsmargen

Innbindingsmargen, often translated as binding margin or gutter margin, refers to the area on the inside edge of a page in a book or document that is used for binding. This margin is essential to ensure that text and images are not lost when the pages are bound together, whether through methods like stitching, gluing, or stapling. Without adequate innbindingsmargen, important content close to the spine could become illegible or inaccessible.

The size of the innbindingsmargen is a design consideration that depends on the binding method and the thickness of the publication. Thicker books or those bound with less flexible methods typically require a wider innbindingsmargen. The goal is to provide enough space for the binding mechanism while maintaining a balanced and aesthetically pleasing layout on the page. Designers often incorporate this margin during the page layout process, ensuring it is consistently applied across the document. In digital documents intended for printing and binding, this margin is a crucial element to consider for print preparation.
