About Carne
A small site for people who fold paper into booklets, and who want the page numbers to come out right.
Independence
Carne is an independent site. It shares a name with an earlier webzine from Buenos Aires and is unaffiliated with it. Nothing here is a continuation of that publication, and no work by its contributors appears on this site.
What the Folding Table does
The Folding Table works out the order of pages on each side of each sheet, for a booklet you fold and bind. It pads the page count to a multiple of four, offers saddle stitch and other bindings, and writes out a note you can paste to your print shop. Creep is an estimate based on typical paper thickness. Bleed of 3 mm and a 5 mm safe zone are common defaults, and your printer’s own template takes priority.
The site was designed with the hand-painted hoardings and bus panels of Buenos Aires in mind: bold numerals, brush script, whitewash and enamel.
Privacy
The site sets no cookies and uses no analytics or third-party scripts. Fonts are served from this site. Everything you type into the Folding Table stays in your browser; the settings appear in the page address only so that you can bookmark or share them. The host may keep ordinary server logs.
