Creep/Shingling Calculator

Creep Calculator / Shingling Calculator

This calculator helps you figure out the amount of page creep for a booklet (aka shingling or pushout) for a number of pages and a given stock thickness.

This helps you figure out the safe area of your pages so that folios or other artwork wont get too close to the final trim of the booklet.

Handy tables can be viewed in single pages or printers spreads with the amount of creep per spread.

Click the compose button to send yourself the values via email. Or click the script icon to send yourself an Adobe Indesign javascript that will automatically place page guides to easily see the effect of creep in your document.
