    FAQs
  • We recommend the following weights depending on the type of binding and the number of pages in the booklet. For example saddle stitched booklets with many pages should be printed on a lighter paper to help it stay flat when closed.

    Saddle stitched Booklets:

    Brochures & Booklets - 130gsm to 170gsm for matt and gloss, or 120gsm to 135gsm for uncoated.

    Magazine printing - 90gsm to 150gsm for matt or gloss papers, or 100gsm to 120gsm for uncoated.

    PUR Perfect Bound Booklets:

    If you have less than 48pp, you may find you need to use a heaver paper stock to achieve the 2.5mm minimum weight required for PUR Perfect binding (Check the calculator for the current book thickness).

    Also remember, if you are intending to post your booklet, the weight of the paper may have a bearing on the postage cost.

    Common paper weight examples:

    Standard A4 copier paper - 80gsm Uncoated
    Pizza Menus delivered door to door - 135gsm to 150gsm Gloss
    Cover of glossy lifestyle magazine - 200gsm Gloss

  • Saddle stitched Booklets:

    As a starting point, we recommend a paper weight at least two weights above the body paper weight for booklets less than 24 pages. Generally, the higher the page count, the heavier weight of cover is recommended).

    Some recommended examples:

    • 16pp A4 Brochure - 135gsm Gloss Body Paper Self Cover, or optionally a 170gsm Cover
    • 48pp A5 Booklet - 115gsm Matt Body Paper plus 250gsm Matt Cover
    • 68pp A4 Magazine - 100gsm Matt Body Paper plus 200gsm Matt Cover

    PUR Perfect Bound Booklets:

    PUR Bound books must have a cover of at least 200gsm, but we recommend a minimum of 250gsm.

    It is advisable to laminate covers for extra wear resistance.

Fantastic / Professional / Beautiful Books

I cant fault the service at all. I was sent print samples to help inform my choices. I was in regular contact with Joseph & Andy who were friendly & professional and the wire bound books arrived on time and were very well made. Great Price too! Ive placed a 2nd Order for 2000 books and intend to buy from them on a regular basis now. Im glad i found this company. Many thanks for a great service
