Booklets are what you print when the content will not fit on a folded sheet — training manuals, annual reports, event programmes, product handbooks, school magazines and company profiles.
The two decisions that shape the whole job are page count and binding, and they interact. Getting them settled before design begins saves a great deal of rework, because a saddle-stitched booklet must have a page count divisible by four.
Which binding should a booklet use?
Saddle stitching — staples through the spine fold — is the standard for booklets up to a moderate page count. It lies reasonably flat, costs least, and is what most programme books, newsletters and short reports use.
Once the page count grows, saddle stitching stops working: the inner pages push outward and the trim becomes uneven. At that point perfect binding, with a glued flat spine, is both neater and more durable. Wire-o is the choice when a document must open flat and stay open — training manuals, recipe books and reference guides.

Why order this from us
Binding matched to how it is used
A manual that must lie flat needs wire-o; a report that sits on a shelf needs a printed spine.
Paper chosen for opacity
Text showing through from the reverse page is a paper problem. We recommend weight accordingly.
Imposition handled here
Send pages in reading order — arranging them into printing sequence is our job, not yours.
Page count checked upfront
We flag a saddle-stitched page count that is not divisible by four before design is finalised.
Typical use cases
What people order this for
- A company producing an annual report for shareholders and the board

- An event organiser producing a programme book with schedule and speaker profiles
- A manufacturer printing a product installation and maintenance manual
- A training institute producing course workbooks for a batch
How this is priced
Booklet cost is driven by page count first, then quantity, size, paper and binding. Adding four pages is cheaper than adding a binding upgrade, so if content is close to a page-count boundary it is usually better to expand slightly than to compress.
Ordering in bulk? Booklets in volume are an offset job with a significant setup component. If you produce the same booklet annually, tell us — the file setup carries over and reprints become considerably simpler.

Because each sheet of paper folded in half produces four pages — two on each side. If your content comes to 14 pages, the booklet will be printed as 16 with two blank or filler pages.
There is no fixed number; it depends on paper thickness. As the page count rises, the inner pages of a saddle-stitched booklet push outward and the fore-edge trim eats into the inner margins. Tell us your page count and paper and we will advise.
On perfect-bound and hard-cover booklets, yes, once the spine is thick enough to carry legible text. Saddle-stitched booklets have a folded spine with no flat surface to print on.
Higher GSM and better opacity. For text-heavy documents printed both sides, 90 to 100 GSM is usually enough; for image-heavy pages, heavier art paper is better. We will recommend based on your content.
