What does total pages including covers mean?Each printed side counts as one page, including the front and back covers. For example, a cover printed on both sides contributes two pages to the total. Enter the complete page count so the finished booklet is built with the correct number of sheets and covers.
Which booklet sizes are available?Available formats range from compact 4.25" × 5.5" booklets through Letter, Legal and Ledger sizes. Portrait and landscape choices vary by finished size, and the template section shows the artwork orientation available for each format.
Can the front and back covers be different?Yes. Front and back covers are selected independently, so you can combine a clear front with a black vinyl back, use matching printed cardstock on both sides, or choose different materials and printing when the booklet design calls for it.
Should inside pages print on one side or both sides?Both-sides printing keeps longer documents compact and efficient. One-side-only printing leaves the reverse blank, which can be useful for worksheets, note-taking, instructor guides, forms or documents where each new section should begin on a fresh sheet.
When is coil binding a good choice?Coil binding works especially well for manuals, workbooks, training guides and frequently used references because pages turn easily and the booklet can remain comfortably open during use.
Can I add tabs?Yes. Choose from 1 through 10 printed tabs when the booklet needs clear section navigation. Tabs are especially useful for procedures, course materials, product sections, departmental information and frequently referenced manuals.
How can I provide booklet artwork?Choose Upload Artwork Now, Provide Artwork Separately or Request Design Assistance. Use the template that matches the finished size and orientation, keep important content inside the safe area and make sure the complete page sequence is clear before production.
How quickly can these booklets be produced?Available production choices include 3–4 Business Days, 2 Business Days, Next Business Day and Same Business Day for qualifying configurations. Availability depends on the selected size, page count, cover materials, inside paper, tabs, finishing and artwork readiness.
