Create Page-Turning Custom Booklets

If you need something nifty to impress and educate your target audience in one go, you can never go wrong with custom booklets.

Don’t let the size or format fool you – they may not be as imposing as billboards, or as easily digestible as flyers, but with the right design you can get anyone to sit down and flip through your booklet.

When you use custom booklets for promotional purposes, you’ll have enough room not just to highlight your sales pitch but also to feature your products, services, and even your brand story. You can also use custom booklets as training manuals, employee handbooks, and as event giveaways.

We offer several customization options for booklets here at PrintRunner. You can get yours in three different sizes, choose between three binding options, and select from a wide range of page numbers. We also offer different paper stocks for both the cover and inserts. Lastly, we can get your custom booklets ready for shipping in as fast as 3 business days, or 8 business days maximum.

Make Your Custom Booklets Worth Grabbing

What’s great about custom booklets is they pack a lot of value despite their compact size. Regardless of the number of sheets you are putting in your booklet, there’s a lot of room to leave the reader in awe every time they turn a page. Plus, they do more than just impress your market – they educate them as well!

Let PrintRunner help you create the best booklets for your business. Here’s what we offer:

Three Booklet Sizes

1. 5.5” x 8.5” is a popular choice and similar to A5 paper in size. This is a suitable choice for just about any booklet project.
2. 11” x 8.5” is the largest size for booklets and is the size of US letter paper. It’s perfect for marketing materials with plenty of visuals.
3. 6” x 6” is the smallest available size we offer. This eye-catching, square-shaped booklet is perfect for launching new products, and they’re easy to hand out at trade shows and events.

Three Binding Options

1. Saddle stitch uses two staples to fasten the booklet’s folded spine. This allows your booklet to open flat at the center. Ideal for booklets with minimal pages.
2. Wire-O uses double wire binding through a row of punched holes. Suitable for booklets created for everyday use.
3. Perfect binding is gluing the pages together to the cover’s spine, giving your booklets a polished look. The minimum page count for perfect binding is 48 pages.

Best Practices When Printing Custom Booklets

You have worked long and hard on your booklet’s design and content, so don’t let your time and effort go to waste by following these booklet printing tips:

Don’t forget to leave room for the binding!

While designing the pages of your booklet, be mindful of the binding area to avoid cutting off important information or artwork during printing. This is especially important for perfect binding as images or text that are too close to the spine may be difficult to see.

Use high-resolution images.

Avoid blurry or pixelated visuals on your booklet by providing high-resolution images and a layout that is set to at least 300 dpi.

Choose the right paper and cardstock for your pages.

Heavier stocks feel more luxurious, but using too many pages of thick cardstock will make your booklet more difficult to close especially if you bind them using saddle stitching. Ideally, inner pages should be thinner than cover pages as the latter need to be durable.

Choose a high gloss finish to make your designs look vivid, or select matte if you prefer a more modern, elegant look for your custom-printed booklet.
