A5 Wire Bound Booklets & Brochures
A5 wire bound booklets are a practical, easy-to-use format designed to open flat and stay open.
They're ideal for manuals, guides, training booklets, workbooks and reference documents where usability matters more than a traditional book finish.
The A5 size is comfortable to handle and easy to carry, while the wire binding allows pages to turn smoothly and fold back on themselves.
This makes it a popular choice for content that's used regularly or needs to be read hands-free.
Fineline produces A5 wire bound booklets to a consistently high standard, with reliable turnaround options.
If you need help preparing your artwork, our team is always happy to advise, and you'll also find handy page layout guides available to download under the Artwork Guidelines & Templates tab.
Your A5 wire bound booklet will be printed in full colour on your choice of silk or uncoated stock and finished with durable wire binding.
Pages are neatly collated and trimmed to size, creating a booklet that opens flat and is easy to use.
This format is well-suited to documents that are frequently referenced, updated or used during training or instruction.
Saver, Standard, and Express turnaround options are available to help meet your deadlines.
Every order includes a free technical artwork check before printing, and delivery is included as standard.
