Why Core is exactly what you need

Core is another way of working, which gives you a host of advantages. For example, you can save up to over 50% of the costs and keep the page layout of your book productions affordable.

Moreover, Core achieves the same high quality and helps you keep track of your book productions. Very practical if you are working on different projects at the same time.

The five advantages of Core?

  • Low page price thanks to structured page formatting.
  • Faster turnaround time from manuscript to publication.
  • Clear overview of all your productions and their status
  • Better access to files and source material.
  • Simple reprinting without hassle.
We do not use Core for financial reasons only. It simply takes the pressure off, too. The editors can work much more independently since our books are formatted via Core.

How does automatic book formatting with Core work?

It is important to structure your Word file with a template. It will make the rest of the process easy and largely automatic. With Core, you start with a strong foundationthanks to our practical macros and templates. Do you need more help to structure your texts? We are happy to assist here, too!

2. Upload

You log in to the Core platform, create a new book project and upload the structured Word file. Choose a graphic template in Core, after which the platform will automatically generate a proof for you.

3. Corrections

InCopy allows you to make corrections in thetypesetting file easily.

4. Layout proof

A Crius Group employee does a final manual layout check. We take care of the layout right down to the smallest detail.

5. Final PDF

Is everything perfect? Then you will receive the print-ready file and the ePub version.

Maintaining a balance between templates and freedom


Working with a structured document is advantageous for both the author and the typesetter. You work with a predefined design that is laid down in various templates.

Does this restrict your freedom? Not at all. Of course, there is standardisation, but you choose how and to what extent you implement it. You will definitely save a lot of time and money with this method.

Crius Group will assist you from start to finish.

Are you new to automatic book formatting? Our experienced team will guide you through the entire process: from setting up templates to delivering copy and print-ready PDF files. We even give you a free ePub file of each title.

The love we put into what we make shows both in our support and our software. Experience it yourself!

We keep our word.
