Plan for the reader

A booklet should work after it leaves the box

The same page file can need a different production route depending on how it will be presented, distributed and handled.

Present Clearly

Choose a size, cover and finish that support the information rather than overpower it.

Open Properly

Match binding and margins to page count, spine behaviour and how readers use the publication.

Repeat Reliably

Keep approved specifications and files organised for reprints, updates and multiple versions.

Binding and paper

Page count changes the production route

Binding is both a structural and artwork decision. Final suitability is confirmed after the page count, paper thickness and intended use are checked.

SADDLE STITCH

Folded and stapled

Common for practical lower-page-count booklets. Page counts usually work in multiples of four.

PERFECT BIND

Square spine

Considered for thicker publications when the selected paper and page count form a workable spine.

WIRE-O

Opens flat

Useful for manuals, guides and workbooks that need to stay open during use.

COVER + INNER

Separate specifications

Cover and inner pages can use different stocks, colour configurations and finishes.

For a useful quotation: send the finished size, total pages including cover, quantity, colour-page configuration, cover and inner paper, binding, finishing, artwork status and required date.

Production workflow

Three approvals keep the job moving

01 / BRIEF

Confirm the specification

We check use, size, pages, quantity, versions, paper, binding, finishing, artwork and required date.

02 / FILE

Review page setup

Printing and binding begin after the final specification, quotation and production file are approved.

Final wording, images, names, dates, numbers, page order, blank pages, pagination, versions, quantity and delivery details.

Frequently asked questions

Booklet printing questions

How should I count booklet pages?

Count every printed page, including the front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover and back cover. Saddle-stitched page counts usually work in multiples of four.

Which binding is suitable for my booklet?

It depends on total pages, paper thickness and use. Saddle stitch suits many thinner booklets, perfect binding needs enough thickness for a spine, and Wire-O is useful when pages should open flat.

Can the cover use different paper from the inner pages?

Yes. Cover and inner pages can have separate paper and colour specifications, subject to the selected binding, quantity, budget and required use.

What should I send for a quotation?

Send finished size, total pages including cover, quantity and versions, colour configuration, paper or sample, binding, finishing, artwork status, required date and delivery location.
