Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many pages can a booklet have?
Booklets are available with 8 to 64 pages, in 4-page increments. The total page count includes the four cover pages, so an 8-page booklet includes 4 cover pages and 4 body pages.
2. Why do booklet page counts have to be multiples of four?
Saddle-stitched booklets are made from printed sheets that are folded and bound together. Each folded sheet creates four pages, which is why booklet page counts increase in multiples of four.
3. Does the booklet page count include the cover?
Yes. The selected page count includes the cover. For example, a 24-page booklet consists of 4 cover pages and 20 body pages.
4. What is the difference between a Self Cover and a Card Cover?
A Self Cover uses the same paper stock for the cover and interior pages. A Card Cover provides a separate cover option from the interior pages. Choose based on how you want the cover of your booklet to differ from the inside pages.
5. Should I choose 80 lb or 100 lb Gloss paper for my booklet?
Both are gloss paper options. 100 lb Gloss is heavier than 80 lb Gloss, while 80 lb provides the lighter option. Consider the amount of handling, page count, and overall feel you want when choosing between them.
6. What booklet size should I choose?
Choose 5.5" × 8.5" when you want a smaller, more compact booklet. Choose 8.5" × 11" when your layout needs more room for images, product details, charts, or longer sections of text.
7. What is saddle-stitch booklet binding?
Saddle stitching binds folded pages together along the center fold. It is the binding method used for Overnight Prints booklets and is available across the offered page-count options.
8. How many booklets can I order?
Booklet quantities range from 25 to 5,000 copies, with available quantities of 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 2,000, and 5,000.
9. What affects the cost of booklet printing?
Your booklet configuration—including size, quantity, page count, paper, and cover selection—can affect the final price.
10. How should I organize the pages in my booklet design?
Plan your content in the order you want readers to follow it and remember that the cover is included in the total page count. Before designing, it can help to outline your cover, main sections, images, and final page. For more guidance, see what a booklet should include.
