Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about booklet printing? We've answered some of the most common queries about sizing, paper stocks, binding options, artwork requirements, turnaround times, and delivery to help you plan your project with confidence. If you need further assistance, our print specialists are always happy to help.

View all our FAQ's
What file format should I use when submitting a design for online booklet printing?

A high-resolution PDF is the best option for printing booklets. Include the correct paper size, bleed area, quiet area, and crop marks. Ensure all fonts are embedded, and images are high resolution for a professional finish.

What steps should I take to prepare a PDF for booklet printing with the correct page order?

Submit your print file as single pages in reading order rather than printer spreads. Include blank pages if required, use the correct paper size, and keep artwork within the bleed area for accurate production.

Book vs Booklet Printing: Which option is right for your project?

Book printing is ideal for publications with a higher number of pages and often uses perfect-bound finishes. A saddle-stitched booklet is a great option for brochures, catalogues, event programs, and smaller booklets.
