How our book cover design works
Share the brief
Tell us genre, tone, readers and any covers you admire. For print covers we also need trim size and paper type.
Design the concept
Typography and imagery are chosen to fit your genre and read clearly even at thumbnail size.
Set the print layout
Spine thickness comes from page count and paper caliper, with bleed and barcode space set to printer rules.
Deliver final files
You receive the formats listed in your package, ready to upload to your printer or retailer.
Why choose Omeiro for book cover design
For special finishes we also handle foil and emboss registration. You send the title, blurb and genre, and get artwork that holds up on a shelf and as a small thumbnail on a retailer page.

Book Cover Design: common questions
How much does book cover design cost?
Prices are fixed and shown by package on our Book Cover Design pricing page, so you see the full price before you order. You can also ask for a custom quote.
How long does book cover designer take?
Delivery depends on the package: Basic 2-day delivery; Standard 4-day delivery; Premium 6-day delivery.
What is included in the Basic Package?
The Basic Package includes: eBook cover (JPG / PDF). Higher packages add more scope, revisions and support.
Can I get a custom custom book jacket design package?
Yes. If none of the packages fits, use the custom package form on our pricing page to describe what you need, and our team sends you a fixed price.
Do I need to know my page count before ordering?
For paperback and hardcover, yes, or a close estimate, because spine width depends on it. An eBook cover does not need it.
Can I use the finished cover on Amazon and other retailers?
The files are prepared for print and retail upload, though you should check each platform's current size rules.
Can you design a series with matching covers?
Tell us the number of titles before ordering and we will advise which package fits.
Will I get editable files?
Standard and Premium include source files.
Who owns the final work?
Copyright of the final work passes to you once the order is paid in full. Paid fonts, stock files or licences, if used, are licensed in your name.
