Catalogues and Custom Booklets (Perfect Bound, Saddle (Staple) Stitched)
Perfect Bound Binding
The spine of the product is bound using a solid thermal glue. The edges are trimmed to ensure they are ‘perfectly’ aligned and have a crisp finish. The perfect bound finish is popular among manufacturers and wholesalers. Depending on the stock chosen, page minimums start at around 48, which makes them an ideal size to be used as:
• Quick references.
• Manuals and guides.
• Product catalogues.
• Information booklets.
• And much more!
Hole Drilled, Loop or Saddle Stitch (Staple) Binding
All three of these options are ideal for products with a maximum of 72 pages (depending on paper weight). Saddle stitch binding is commonly known as staple binding. All the pages are gathered together and stapled down the middle. Loop stitches are similar; however, they add three loops to the outside of the spine.
Another option is to have your product hole drilled and stapled for perfect accuracy.
• This option is perfect if the product is destined to be stored in a ring binder.
Folded Brochures
Our folded brochure printing services are probably the most ordered printed marketing collateral. Folded brochures are easy to distribute via letterbox without an envelope or included with other items when mailing.
Flyers and small Posters
Most clients order flyers and small posters with a gloss finish. There are lots of options for finishes, including:
• Uncoated laser bond.
• Matt or gloss cello glaze.
• And a range of gsm (stock weights).
Year Books and Graduation Books
Year and graduation books are perfect end-of-year gifts for students and teachers. They can be filled with photos, quotes, and highlights from the past year. These are great memorabilia for schools, colleges, and universities to sell.
There is no limit on orders – from 10 to thousands.
Booklets, Books & Brochures Printing Continue to Deliver Results
One of the most effective ways to communicate quality, functionality, and durability to customers is through tactile marketing. The way something feels to touch and how it functions sends a message on how:
• Trustworthy;
• Professional, and;
• Reliable a product or service is likely to be(*1).
Psychology teaches us that touch also allows us to form an emotional response to what we can feel(*2). Consider the comfort and joy brought to those who prefer a hard copy book rather than an eBook. There is something special in the printed content we can see, touch and smell.
The Perfect Balance of Print and Digital Media
Tactile marketing is essential for reaching and influencing customers(*1). Digital technology cannot replicate this area of marketing. Combine printed designs with complimentary online media to further cement your brand in your customers’ minds.

Frequently Asked Questions
– What sizes are available for booklet and brochure printing?
We specialise in booklet and brochure printing in various sizes to cater to your unique requirements.
Our options include A4, A5, and DL sizes, but we also provide custom sizes to fit your specific needs. You can choose from portrait, landscape, or square formats, depending on your design preferences. This flexibility allows you to create brochures or booklets that suit your project, whether it’s for corporate presentations, catalogues, or marketing materials.
– What binding options are available for booklets?
We currently offer different binding options for booklets. The most common options are saddle stitching and perfect binding.
– Saddle-stitching involves folding the booklet’s pages and securing them with staples along the spine, which is ideal for smaller booklets.
– Perfect-bound binding uses glue to attach the pages to the spine, giving it a more polished look. It is perfect for thicker booklets or catalogues.
Both these options will let you create a professional and durable booklet, no matter the size or page.
– How do fold brochures affect the design layout?
Folded brochures affect the design layout by dividing the brochure into panels, each with its content. When designing, it’s essential to plan how information flows across these panels.
For example, a tri-fold brochure has six panels (three on each side), so the content needs to be organized logically to guide the reader’s eye. Images, text, and headings must be placed carefully to avoid folds cutting through key elements. Properly planned layouts ensure the design looks clean and professional when folded. Talk to our team if you’d like to know more.
– What finishes can I choose for flyers and small posters?
For flyers and small posters, we give you a variety of finishes to suit your needs.
The most popular option is a gloss finish, which adds shine and enhances colours.
You can choose a matte finish for a more subtle look or opt for an uncoated laser bond for a natural feel.
We provide cello glaze options in matte or gloss, offering extra protection and a premium touch.
Additionally, you can select from a range of paper weights (gsm) to match the durability and appearance you want.
– What is the difference between a folded brochure and a booklet?
A folded brochure is a single sheet of paper folded into sections, like a trifold or bifold, and is usually used for quick information. A booklet, on the other hand, has multiple pages bound together, like a small book, and can hold much more detailed content. Brochures are often used for promotions or brief overviews, while booklets are better for catalogues, programs, or reports. The key difference is that brochures are one sheet folded, and booklets have several pages bound together.
– What types of documents are suitable for perfect bound binding?
Perfect-bound binding is great for various types of documents. It works well for books such as manuals, guides, and product catalogues because it neatly holds many pages together.
Perfect bound binding is also suitable for reports and information booklets that need to look professional. Since it allows for a clean spine, it’s ideal for materials that will be displayed on shelves.
Overall, perfect bound binding can benefit any document that requires a polished appearance and has a higher page count, starting at around 48 pages.
