What is booklet printing?
So, you're curious about booklet printing? No worries, let me break it down for you. Just think of booklet and book printing as a special kind of journey where a blank sheet of paper transforms into this multi-page mini-sized book. The process starts with printing the pages, which could be in vibrant full colour or classic black & white, depending on your preference. Once the printing part is done, we go to the next level - folding and stapling. The printed pages are then folded in half to make it like a book. And guess what? We aren't yet finished!
Now, it's the stapler’s showtime. A couple of staples along the central fold and voila! Your booklet is ready. This way, the pages are secured and what you have in your hands is a neat little booklet that's easy to flip through. As you’re uploading your files for your booklet pages, keep in mind that the cover actually consists of four pages. There’s the front cover, inside front cover, back cover, and inside back cover. So the next time, when you come across a glossy brochure or a funky zine, think about this incredible journey. Pretty nifty, right?

What’s The Difference Between the Booklet Binding Options?
So, you're probably wondering what's up with all these binding options, right? Let me break it down for you. Binding types are basically all about how your brochure or catalogue gets put together. For instance, if you've ever looked at any of the brochures or catalogues we all get in our mailboxes and thought "How'd they do that?" chances are it was either staple binding or something neat called saddle-stitching. It's the same deal with wire stitching too. Here the pages are folded, then stitched with wire staples along the spine which means you can press the pages flat, making it much easier to read. This stuff's used for magazines, booklets, you name it. This affordable option is best used for magazines and sales brochures.
Staple or Spine? Two Binding Types, Which Is Important for You?
However, if you want a more high-end, quality booklet or brochure printing, you might wanna go for perfect bound brochures. It’s a method where the pages are glued along the spine to the cover of the book. It gives a super pro look, but the catch is you can't see the full width of a double-page spread. So, that's it, friends! Choose saddle-stitching if you want something easy to handle and read, and perfect bound brochures for that fancy, prestige aesthetic.
What Size Brochures & Booklets Are Available?
You know whenever we are talking about brochures and booklet printing, the world's our oyster in terms of size options available! You got your small but cute A6 booklet, perfect for those mini guides or mini manuals. Then you have your regular A5 booklet - the standard size for most product catalogues. Speaking of catalogues, the A4 size is a fab option, giving you plenty of space to add all the juicy details about your products or services. Fancy something a bit unique? Why not try the square booklets? They sure stand out in a crowd! Now, if you want to go super bespoke, there're custom size options too. I'm talking about booklets starting from A6 size (that's 148x105mm for stats nerds), which then naturally includes A5, A4 and a perfect little square at 210x210mm all the way up to a jaw-dropping A3 size (420x297mm). And the cherry on top? All these can be perfect bound, staple bound, wire stitched for a high-end vibe, or saddle stitched for the classic look. Sizes, shapes, styles, stitches - we got 'em all for every genre and they're all available in portrait or landscape orientation! Matt, silk or gloss finishes are also available for your booklet printing needs.
What kind of brochure and booklet are you looking for?

Lookbooks can be a visual cornucopia that stimulates and feeds your aesthetic hunger, challenging your perspectives on beauty and style. Educational materials provide a rich reservoir of knowledge, enhancing your mental faculties and preparing you to face life's challenges head on with wisdom and resilience. As for children's books, they are capable of sparking joy, curiosity and vivid imaginations, not only in children but also in adults who are young at heart. Each type of booklet presents its own unique opportunities for learning, dreaming, and being inspired.

So, go on, seek out the booklet that appeals to your imaginative spirit and satiates your intellectual curiosity. Step into the riveting universe of booklets and let the adventure begin.
How Many Booklet Pages Is Best For a Saddle Stitched Project?
The number of pages in a booklet depends on various factors such as the purpose of the booklet and the binding method used during the booklet printing process. For instance, a typical brochure or user manual might be about 12 pages, but it varies depending on what information needs to be included. When we talk about bound booklets, there are two types: staple or saddle-stitched and perfect bound.
Crucially, a saddle stitched booklet HAS to have a page count that is a multiple of four, and between 8 and 64 pages is usually recommended. Ideally, keep such booklets under 40 pages to prevent your booklet from persistently bouncing open. When you design booklet artwork for print, you’ll have to create a design for both sides of every piece of paper. A printed page is one side of the piece of paper. So, a 40pp booklet will only actually have 20 physical pieces of paper in it. Your front and back cover are included as part of this.
How Many Pages Should a Perfect Bound Booklet Be?
On the other hand, perfect bound booklets offer more flexibility. Perfect bound books can have as few as 36 pages and can be as thick as the depth of your content requires. Therefore, the number of booklet pages greatly varies based on these influencing factors.
Can You Print a Matt or Gloss Wiro Bound Booklet sent by Email?
Not for us this one. We are not big fans of Wiro Binding and prefer the more professional aesthetics of wire stitching or perfect binding.
