What is booklet form?

Print a booklet on a double-sided printer. You can make a folded booklet (like a


small book or pamphlet) by printing pages of a document in a special order and changing a
couple of printing options. These instructions are for printing a booklet from a PDF document.

Booklet size
The various sizes of booklet printing are: Small booklets: Mostly the size of booklets is
5.5 x 8.5 and 8.5 x 11. It is ideal for instruction manuals, reports and brochures.

All saddle-stitched booklets must contain 4 pages, 8 pages, 12 pages, 16 pages, 20


pages, 24 pages and so on. Even if a page in the booklet is blank, it still counts as a page.

Purpose of a booklet

The fact booklet, small enough to fit in a pocket is published next and provides an in-
depth analysis (including trends).
Its main purpose is to communicate and explain to stakeholders, relationships and trend
of events within the education sector.

Types of Booklets

They can be used as small story books, instructional manuals, recipe books, and are
often used as brochures, catalogs, blads, and inserts for CDs and DVDs (CD booklet). Some
reports, including annual reports, are essentially special purpose booklets.
Design Considerations for Booklets

Creep occurs with booklets and other publications that use saddle-stitch binding and
needs to be compensated for in the design.

If there is no creep allowance when pages are trimmed the outer margins become
narrower toward the center of the booklet and there is the possibility that text or images may
be cut off.

Creep allowance is a method of counteracting the creep that occurs with some booklets.

If creep is noticeable, the copy can be repositioned toward the center of the spread for
those pages in the center of the booklet. When trimmed, all pages will have the same outer
margins and no text or images are lost.

Imposition refers to arranging pages for printing so that when assembled into a booklet
or other publication they come out in the right reading order.

Printing a 5.5x8.5 booklet on your desktop printer, for example, requires the use of
imposition to print the pages onto letter size (8.5x11) sheets of paper that when assembled and
folded end up with the pages in the right order for reading.

Saddle-Stitched binding is one of the most common binding methods for booklets.

Saddle-stitching or saddle-stapling or "booklet making" is common for small booklets,


calendars, pocket-size address books, and some magazines. Binding with saddle-stitching
creates booklets that can be opened up flat.

Booklet Envelopes are open side envelopes with small square or wallet flaps and side
seams.

Booklet envelopes are used not only for booklets but for brochures, catalogs, annual
reports, and other multi-page mailings. They work well with automatic-insertion machines
