Booklet printing is a custom printing method for reproducing text and images to create a “mini” book with a small number of pages. To be categorized as a “booklet,” the project must include at least eight pages. It’s an effective marketing tool that can be used to create manuals, comic books, catalogs, direct mailers, event programs, or whatever the project entails.

A digital printing company will use a software program to calculate the dimensions of the project. Booklets can be produced in almost any size and customer specification, but the standard size is 8.5 inches by 11 inches when folded. Smaller and larger booklet sizes are uncommon, but can easily be created. A different card stock is often used for the cover than for the interior pages; the cover is typically created using a thicker stock than the inside, but it can vary depending on customer requests.

Several different binding options are available with the most popular being the saddle stitch. It’s held together with two staples along the edge which are folded to fasten the booklet. Perfect binding or gluing is an option that is used for thicker booklets. Plastic coil, wire, and ring binding are also methods that can be utilized to achieve the desired effect.
