Stapled Booklets Printing
We offer a variety of economical paper options for both the interior pages and the cover, including ultra-budget-friendly choices like self-cover booklets, ensuring your project remains cost-effective without compromising on quality.
Interior Paper Options
The interior paper needs to balance durability, readability, and visual appeal. Here are the most popular choices:
Coated Papers
Gloss and matte coated papers are ideal for booklets with high-quality images and vibrant colors. They provide a smooth surface for sharp details and excellent photo reproduction.
● 80 gsm (54 lb)
● 105 gsm (71 lb)
● 128 gsm (86 lb)
● 157 gsm (106 lb)
● 200 gsm (135 lb) for thicker booklets.
Uncoated Papers
Perfect for text-heavy booklets or those requiring a writable surface. Uncoated papers have a natural finish and softer feel.
● 80 gsm (54 lb)
● 100 gsm (68 lb)
● 120 gsm (81 lb)
Thinner papers (80–128 gsm) are suitable for booklets with more pages, while thicker options (157–200 gsm) work well for shorter booklets or those needing extra durability.
Cover Paper Options
The cover paper serves as the booklet’s first impression, offering both protection and visual impact. Heavier paper is typically used to give a sturdy, high-end look:
Gloss or Matte Coated Papers
● 80 gsm (30 lb)
● 105 gsm (39 lb)
● 128 gsm (47 lb)
● 157 gsm (58 lb)
● 200 gsm (74 lb)
● 250 gsm (92 lb)
● 300 gsm (111 lb)
● 350 gsm (129 lb)
Gloss covers are shiny and vibrant, making colors pop, while matte covers offer a more subtle and sophisticated appearance.
Self-Cover Option: The Most Economical Choice
For the most budget-friendly solution, consider a self-cover booklet. This option uses the same paper for the interior pages and the cover, eliminating the need for heavier cover stock. Self-cover booklets are ideal for projects where affordability is a top priority while still maintaining a cohesive and professional appearance.
