Booklets are printed in full colour on your choice of silk or uncoated stock, giving a smooth, professional finish from cover to cover.
Each booklet is collated, saddle-stitched and trimmed precisely to its A5 size, creating a neat, durable publication ideal for both visual and text-heavy content.
Page counts must be in multiples of four because each printed sheet forms four pages when folded. A5 booklets are available from 8 to 64 pages.
Saver, Standard and Express turnaround options are available if you are working to a tight deadline.
VAT on Booklets
Most printed booklets qualify for zero-rated VAT in the UK, meaning VAT is not added to the price when the publication meets HMRC's criteria for printed reading material.
