-
It depends on your page count, how the booklet will be used, and your budget. Saddle stitch works great for up to 64 pages and lies completely flat. Perfect binding gives you that professional book appearance for 40+ pages. Wire-o is unbeatable for durability and heavy use. We're happy to recommend the best option.
-
Absolutely. Our design team can work with your content to create professional layouts, handle pagination, and ensure everything is optimised for your chosen binding style. We can start with rough content or work from your existing materials.
-
Not necessarily. We accept print-ready PDFs, but we can also work with your Word documents, images, and rough layouts to create the finished files for you.
-
Saddle-stitched booklets must have page counts in multiples of 4 (e.g., 12, 16, 20 pages). For other binding types, you have more flexibility. Count your content pages, then add covers to determine your total page count. We can help you plan this efficiently.
-
Saddle-stitched and Wire-o bound booklets lay completely flat, making them perfect for instruction manuals, cookbooks, and presentation materials. Perfect bound booklets behave more like traditional paperback books and don’t lay completely flat.
