Can you explain booklets and spiral bound document?

Published: 2008-12-09

We are often ask how our booklets work. Our software offers different options depending what you upload. So, if you upload a two page A4 the system will give you a variety of options, like double sided, doubled sided with a vertical fold, horizontal fold, and so on.

To get a booklet option you need to upload a document with multiples of 4 pages, ie 4, 8, 12, 16, etc. Uploading a 4 page A4 document will result in a double sided A3 with a fold down (no staples as its one piece of paper).Now, a common issue is that users upload a landscape document - we can only print booklets that fit on a sheet of A3, two landscape A4s cannot fit with a "vertical fold", instead they need to be placed one above the other, so the output is a "top fold". The only option other option if the customer wants the spine on the short edge is to chose a spiral bound, which allows us to print on separate bits of paper.

If you order before noon we will dispatch your order on the same day so that you can enjoy your printing products as soon as possible. Print only what you need. Our minimum quantity is 1 document!
