We also left empty space so that you can add in your business information, contact information, a list of sponsors, etc.
Note: On the back cover, if you leave the empty area on the right blank, it will print blank. We will not pre-populate that area for you.
If you would like to customize your back cover, all you have to do is delete the photo boxes on that page. From there, you can add your own photos, text boxes, background, clipart, etc.
