A5 booklet prices at the current quantity breaks
The table below shows the total for A5 booklets at each listed page count and quantity. The configuration is portrait, 128 GSM matte inner pages, 170 GSM matte cover pages and an unlaminated cover. Each cell shows the order total including GST, with the price per unit in brackets.
| Size / configuration | Qty 10 | Qty 25 | Qty 50 | Qty 100 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8 pages | $165.42 ($16.54 each) | $181.95 ($7.27 each) | $212.53 ($4.25 each) | $254.64 ($2.54 each) |
| 12 pages | $171.21 ($17.12 each) | $196.64 ($7.86 each) | $232.16 ($4.64 each) | $294.15 ($2.94 each) |

Read any row left to right to see how the price per unit falls while the order total rises slowly. On the 8 page row, the total goes from $165.42 at 10 units to $254.64 at 100 units, but the price per unit drops from $16.54 to $2.54. The same pattern holds across the 12 page and 16 page rows.
What moves the A5 booklet printing cost
Quantity moves the A5 booklet printing cost more than any other lever. The 8 page configuration costs $165.42 at 10 units and $254.64 at 100 units. Across that range, the price per unit drops from $16.54 to $2.54. The total grows because you receive more booklets; the unit cost falls because the setup is spread across the run.
Page count is the second visible lever. At 50 units, the 8 page configuration is $212.53 total and $4.25 each, while the 16 page configuration is $300.05 total and $6 each. The third lever is the material setup behind the price: the table prices portrait A5 work with 128 GSM matte inside papers, 170 GSM matte cover paper and no lamination. Those are the levers shown in the current price table.
Delivery and the total cost of an order
Delivery is added per order, not per booklet. Standard delivery is $10 and express delivery is $15, anywhere in Australia, and both include GST. The booklet total stays the same; the delivery charge is what changes.
For the default 8 page order at 10 units, the booklets total $165.42. With standard delivery, the order total becomes $175.42. With express delivery, it becomes $180.42. No order size removes the delivery charge in the current pricing, so the charge applies whether you order 10 booklets or 100.
How to get the best price per unit without changing the product
The most direct move is to order at the next quantity break rather than just below it. On the 8 page configuration, 25 units cost $7.27 each and 50 units cost $4.25 each. If your expected need sits close to 50, the saving per booklet is meaningful.
Choose the page count the job actually needs rather than the largest one. At 50 units, the 8 page configuration totals $212.53 while the 16 page configuration totals $300.05. The smaller page count only makes sense if the content fits it, but do not add pages you will not fill.
Keep to the priced configuration while you compare. The table is built on a portrait A5, matte 128 GSM internal pages, 170 GSM matte cover leaves and no lamination. If your brief allows that setup, the published figures hold. Before you approve the order, open the product page and read the live price for your exact configuration, because the figures can change. If the booklet is one part of a wider run, review the marketing materials category page so the budget covers every printed piece it needs to cover.
How A5 compares with A4 and DL booklets on price
If you are choosing between formats, the A5 and DL booklets often track close at the same page count, while A4 costs more. At 8 pages and 25 units, the A5 total is $181.95, the DL total is $181.93 and the A4 total is $211.57. The price per unit tells the same story: $7.27 for A5, $7.27 for DL and $8.46 for A4.
At 16 pages and 25 units, the comparison shifts. The A5 total is $235.51, the DL total is $220.35 and the A4 total is $330.33. The format choice should follow the content first. If your artwork works at A5, the A4 booklets product page may not be the better place to spend the budget, and the DL booklets product page may offer a similar price in a slimmer shape. For a broader view of how the formats are produced, use the booklet printing in Australia guide before you lock the design.
Format pricing is close between A5 and DL at the low end, but the wrong format is still the most expensive choice if it does not fit the content.
