KDP cover size for a 174-page 7×10 cream hardcover
Enter your details below and this free KDP cover calculator returns the exact spine width, full-cover dimensions, and a safe-zone diagram for a 174-page 7 × 10 in cream hardcover — then download a print-ready template. The 7 × 10 in trim is common for workbooks, textbooks, and illustrated nonfiction that need room for diagrams and exercises. Case-laminate hardcover uses the 0.002347 in/page multiplier and adds a 0.4 in hinge each side of the spine plus a 0.51 in wrap on every edge, so its full cover runs larger than a paperback at the same trim. Adjust any field to recompute live, or use it as a hardcover spine-width calculator for any page count.
