Booklet printing for programmes, manuals and catalogues

Typical uses include event programmes, training manuals, price lists and catalogues, school and church publications, proposals and reports. A booklet makes content feel organised and professional, and it is easier to keep than loose sheets.

For a short, folded piece, a brochure may be enough. For forms and receipts, see NCR books.

Booklet printing suits programmes, manuals and catalogues.

Saddle-stitched (stapled in the fold) booklets suit lower page counts, and the total pages must be in multiples of four. Thicker documents may call for another binding method such as wire or glued binding, which we can quote on request. Tell us your page count and we will suggest what holds up best for how the booklet will be used.

Sizes commonly requested are A5 and A4, portrait or landscape.

A heavier cover with lighter inner pages is a classic combination: the front feels solid and the pages turn easily. Inner pages can be coloured or black and white to manage cost. Lamination on the cover improves durability. Specifications are confirmed on the quote.

Supply a single PDF with pages in reading order, plus the cover, at the finished size with 3 mm bleed. Keep margins generous on the binding side so text is not lost in the fold. Follow our artwork guidelines, and ask if you need layout help, quoted separately.

Printing, collating, folding and stapling each take time. Short runs can often be done quickly, subject to capacity, job size, approved artwork, payment and a confirmed deadline, which we state on the quote. Collect in Rivonia once we confirm readiness, or ask for delivery to be quoted.

Send your page count and quantity and we will quote booklet printing in writing.
