What people print as booklets
- Catalogs and lookbooks for product lines and collections.
- Event programs for galas, tournaments, recitals and festivals.
- Menus and drink lists with more than a few panels of content.
- Manuals, guides and reports for clients, members and staff.
- Wall calendars with your photos and your dates: a year on someone’s wall.

Plan the page count first
A saddle-stitched booklet is made from sheets folded in half and stapled on the fold, so the page count always works in multiples of four: 8, 12, 16 and up. The cover counts as four of those pages. If your content lands at 14 pages, plan two more for photos, notes or a sponsor ad rather than forcing it into 12.
Paper
Gloss for photo-heavy catalogs, silk for a softer look that still holds color, and matte, uncoated or premium opaque for anything people will write on. The cover can run on the same paper for a self-cover, or on a heavier cover stock so the book feels finished.
