Booklets & Catalogs FAQ
Find answers to common questions about booklet and catalog printing, binding, design, and more.
What binding options are available for booklets and catalogs?
We offer several binding options including saddle stitch (stapled), perfect binding (glued spine), spiral binding, and wire-o binding. Saddle stitch is most common for booklets up to 64 pages. Perfect binding provides a professional look for thicker catalogs. We can help you choose the best option for your project.
What is the minimum order quantity for booklets and catalogs?
Minimum orders vary by project, but typically start at 100 copies. Smaller quantities may be available for an additional setup fee. Larger orders (500+) receive better pricing per unit. We work with businesses of all sizes to accommodate their needs.
What paper types are available for booklets and catalogs?
We offer various paper types including gloss, matte, uncoated, and specialty papers. Paper weight options range from 80# text to 100# cover stock. We can help you select the right paper type and weight based on your design, budget, and intended use.
How long does it take to print booklets and catalogs?
Standard turnaround is 7-10 business days for most orders. Complex projects with custom binding or special finishes may take 10-14 business days. Rush orders can be completed in 3-5 business days for an additional fee. We provide timelines upfront for all projects.
What file format should I use for booklet and catalog designs?
We prefer PDF files with proper bleeds (0.125" on all sides) and crop marks. Files should be high resolution (300 DPI) for best print quality. We also accept InDesign, Illustrator, and Photoshop files. Our team can help prepare your files for printing if needed.
What is the cost of printing booklets and catalogs?
Pricing depends on page count, quantity, paper type, binding method, and finishing options. A typical 16-page saddle-stitched booklet might cost $2-5 per copy for orders of 500-1000. Larger quantities and simpler designs reduce per-unit cost. Contact us for a detailed quote.
Can you print booklets and catalogs in full color?
Yes! We offer full-color printing (CMYK) for all pages, or you can mix color and black & white pages to reduce costs. Full-color printing ensures vibrant images and professional appearance. We use high-quality digital and offset printing equipment.

What finishing options are available?
We offer various finishing options including UV coating, lamination, embossing, foil stamping, and die-cutting. These options add visual appeal and durability. We can help you choose finishing options that enhance your booklet or catalog while staying within budget.
Can I print different page counts for different sections?
Yes, we can accommodate different page counts and paper types within the same booklet or catalog. This is useful for catalogs with cover pages, inserts, or special sections. We work with you to plan the layout and ensure proper binding.
