Which binding should I choose for my booklets?
Choose saddle stitching for compact programs and catalogs, choose Wire Bound Booklets when flat opening helps with workbooks and manuals, and choose Perfect Bound Booklets when you want a printed square spine for a more shelf-ready look.
Which size fits my booklet project well?
A5 Booklets are a compact choice for menus, programs, and small catalogs, A4 Booklets give more space for reports and company profiles, and DL Booklets are portrait only for slim menus and guides.
Why do booklet page counts go up in fours?
Each folded sheet creates four printed sides, so the total moves in steps of four. The cover is folded the same way, so it adds four sides to the count.
How do I choose inside and cover stock?
Saddle stitched booklets offer inside pages in 128gsm matte, 150gsm matte, 113gsm gloss, or 150gsm gloss, with covers in 150gsm gloss, 150gsm matte, 250gsm gloss, or 250gsm matte, and only the 250gsm covers can be laminated in gloss or matte. Wire bound and perfect bound booklets add 120gsm uncoated inside pages, use 250gsm covers, and offer none, gloss, matte, or velvet lamination. Matte pages suit text-heavy reading, while gloss pages help photos look brighter, and uncoated pages suit writing.
What minimum order and quantities are offered?
The minimum order is 10 copies, and standard quantities are 10, 25, 50, 75, and 100 copies. The per copy cost falls as the quantity rises. For wire bound and perfect bound A4 booklets with 96 or 100 printed pages on the heaviest inside stocks, the largest quantity offered is 75 copies.
What can I do if I need more than 100 copies?
Larger runs are available on request. You can request a custom quote for more than 100 copies or for a binding that is not in the standard range.
What file setup does booklet printing need?
Upload a PDF, SVG, or Adobe Illustrator file that is ready for print, with 3mm bleed on every edge. Keep text and key elements at least 3mm inside the trim, outline fonts, and embed images at 300dpi.
What happens after the file is checked?
A digital proof is prepared after the file check. Nothing is printed until you approve the proof, so you can review the layout before printing begins.

What The Booklet Range Offers
This booklet printing range includes A5, A4, and DL saddle stitched booklets, wire bound booklets in A4 and A5, and perfect bound booklets in A4 and A5. A business, school, church, event organizer, or nonprofit can match the binding and size to the job.
The formats suit programs, catalogs, menus, guides, workbooks, training manuals, recipe books, company profiles, and school magazines, and they can feel substantial without being bulky.
Saddle Stitched Sizes And Uses
A5 Booklets trim to 148 x 210 mm and can be ordered as a portrait or landscape layout, suiting programs, catalogs, menus, and guides that need substance without bulk.
A4 Booklets trim to 210 x 297 mm and work in either orientation, giving breathing room for reports, catalogs, company profiles, and school magazines. DL Booklets trim to 99 x 210 mm and run portrait only.
How Stitching And Page Counts Work
Saddle stitched booklets place a staple through the fold where the sheets meet. Because one folded sheet creates four printed sides, page totals move in steps of four, from 8 to 56 pages, and the cover counts as four of those pages.
An 8 page booklet has 4 cover pages plus 4 inside pages, and a 16 page booklet has 4 cover pages plus 12 inside pages.
Wire And Perfect Bound Options
Wire Bound Booklets use a twin loop of wire through punched holes, with black or white wire, and open flat in A4 and A5 portrait, 12 to 100 pages. Many people call this spiral binding, although it is a twin loop of wire and not a plastic coil. The flat opening suits workbooks, training manuals, and recipe books.
Perfect Bound Booklets glue pages into a square spine with PUR adhesive, and one printed cover wraps the front, spine, and back, so the spine is printed. They come in A4 and A5 portrait, 36 to 100 pages.
Paper And Cover Stock Choices
Saddle stitched booklets use inside pages in 128gsm matte, 150gsm matte, 113gsm gloss, or 150gsm gloss, with covers in 150gsm gloss, 150gsm matte, 250gsm gloss, or 250gsm matte. Only the 250gsm covers can be laminated in gloss or matte, and the lighter covers are not laminated.
Wire bound and perfect bound booklets add 120gsm uncoated inside pages, use 250gsm covers, and offer none, gloss, matte, or velvet lamination. Matte pages suit text-heavy reading by feeling calm and reducing glare, while gloss pages help photos and high-detail images look brighter and more saturated.
| Cover stock | Finish | Lamination | Suits |
|---|---|---|---|
| 150gsm gloss | Gloss | Not laminated | A lighter gloss choice for modest runs of event programs, price lists and smaller booklets |
| 150gsm matte | Matte | Not laminated | A lighter matte option suited to event programs, menus and guides |
| 250gsm gloss | Gloss | Gloss or matte lamination available | A heavier gloss option that suits product catalogs and presentation booklets |
| 250gsm matte | Matte | Gloss or matte lamination available | A heavier matte option for reports, company profiles and catalogs |
Artwork Setup And The Proof Step
Upload a print-ready PDF, SVG, or Adobe Illustrator file with 3mm bleed on every edge, and keep text and important elements at least 3mm inside the trim. Outline all fonts and embed images at 300dpi so nothing shifts when the file is processed.
Every booklet order includes a file check by a real person before anything goes to print. A digital proof is prepared and emailed once the file has been checked, and nothing is printed until you approve it.
Quantities And Larger Custom Runs
Every booklet is ordered in quantities of 10, 25, 50, 75, or 100 copies, and the minimum order is 10 copies. For a run larger than 100 copies, or a binding that is not listed here, you can request a custom quote.
The total for a booklet printing order changes with size, binding, page count, quantity, inside stock, cover stock, and lamination, and the per copy cost falls as the quantity rises. The current total shows as you choose the options for a booklet. For wire bound and perfect bound A4 booklets with 96 or 100 printed pages on the heaviest inside stocks, the largest quantity offered is 75 copies.
