Make every page count. Whether you're promoting products, presenting ideas, sharing information or telling a story, choose from a range of binding styles, sizes, papers and finishes, with flexible quantities to suit your project. Whatever you're printing, we'll help you get it on the right page.
Each binding style brings something different to the page. Explore saddle stitched booklets, perfect bound, hardback and wiro bound books to find the format that works best for your project.
What’s the difference between a booklet, brochure and book?
The terms can overlap, and the right description often comes down to how the finished piece is being used. Booklets are generally shorter publications and are often saddle stitched, while brochures are commonly used to present or promote products, services or information and can use different binding styles. Books tend to have higher page counts and can include perfect bound, hardback, wiro bound and other formats.
What does pp mean in book printing?
PP stands for printed pages and refers to the total number of pages in your publication. For example, a 20pp booklet contains 20 printed pages.
Do booklet page counts need to be in multiples of four?
For saddle stitched booklets, yes. Each folded sheet creates four printed pages, so the total page count needs to be divisible by four. Other binding styles have different page requirements, so check the individual product specification before setting up your artwork.
Should I supply book artwork as individual pages or spreads?
It depends on the binding style. Inner pages are generally supplied as individual pages in reading order rather than printer spreads. Perfect bound and hardback covers need to be supplied as a continuous spread that includes the back cover, spine and front cover. Follow the artwork guide for your chosen binding before uploading your files.
What sizes are available for booklets, brochures and books?
Available sizes vary by binding style, with popular options including A4, A5, A6 and square formats. Custom sizes are also available on selected products, giving you more flexibility when a standard size does not suit the project.
Can I choose different paper for the cover and inner pages?
Yes, selected formats let you choose the cover and inner paper separately. This means you can combine different paper stocks and weights to give the cover more substance while choosing a paper that suits the content inside.
What finishing options are available for books and brochures?
Finishing options vary by product, but choices across the range include matt, gloss and soft touch lamination, Spot UV and gold or silver foil. You’ll see the finishes available for your chosen format when configuring your product.
Can I print books and booklets on recycled paper?
Yes. Recycled paper stocks are available across selected book and booklet formats, including options for covers and inner pages. Available stocks vary by product, so check the options when choosing your specification.
How much does book and brochure printing cost?
The price depends on your chosen size, page count, paper, binding, finishes and quantity. Build your specification using the product configurator and your price will be calculated automatically, so you can compare different options before ordering.
How much do printed books cost?
The cost of printed books can vary significantly based on key factors such as size, material, page count, and binding style. If you're on a budget, keeping your page count lower and opting for a smaller size can help reduce costs. For those looking to make an impact, premium options like hardcover layflat books paired with high-quality papers offer a luxurious finish.
To get a clearer idea of pricing, scope out what specifications you are after, and our handy live calculator will generate the price instantly. The final cost will depend on your specific choices, including quantity and finishing options, so there’s no waiting around for a quote.
Can I order books and booklets in small quantities?
Yes. Most of our core book formats can be ordered from a single copy, making short runs useful for proofs, smaller projects or testing a publication before ordering more. You can also scale up to larger quantities when you need them.
Some projects call for something a little different. Explore paperback books, personalised notebooks and wedding guest books, with formats made for everything from publishing and gifting to everyday use.
The right binding can make a big difference to how your finished print looks, feels and works. Page count, how the book will be used and the finish you want all play a part in choosing a format that suits the job.
The way your print will be used can help point you towards the right binding. From catalogues and magazines to manuals and self published books, here's a quick guide to some of the formats that could work for your project.
From short runs to larger print orders, your books and brochures are produced by experienced print teams using specialist binding and finishing equipment. Choose from a wide range of papers, sizes and finishes, with artwork checks built into the ordering process to help catch technical issues before your job reaches production.
Whether you're printing a simple booklet or something more substantial, you'll have the flexibility to choose a format that fits the project rather than forcing the project to fit the format.
Multi page artwork can need a little more setup than a single sheet. Page order, bleed, safe areas and binding margins can all affect the finished result, so we’ve put together guides to help you prepare your files correctly.
Explore our artwork guides for stitched, perfect bound, hardback and wiro bound books, or use our Artwork Technical Checks for extra reassurance before your job reaches production.
