Booklet Printing

We offer a complete high-quality booklet-printing service where artwork can be supplied by yourself or designed and printed by ourselves in-house.

There are many finishing options available: perfect binding, wiro-binding, stitching etc.

Rather than subject you to a multi-question form to fill in, it's much easier to call us on: 01635 255 552 and speak to Debbie, who will be able to ask you the right questions regarding your booklet project. This way, an accurate quotation can be quickly calculated and emailed, or phoned back to you.


Booklet Artwork

If you're considering designing your own booklet then it's worth checking to see whether the format you will be supplying the booklet in is usable.

Probably the easiest way, if this is your first booklet, is to design each page in order. For instance, if you're using Word as an example then just start by designing the front cover on page 1, back cover on page 2, the first inner page on page 3 etc. etc. until you reach the end of the booklet. We can then make a pdf of your file and, using imposition software, can 'arrange' the pages into the correct order.

If you prefer to 'impose' the job yourself, then that's fine also. Imposition is just the term used to describe the arrangement of pages. Page 1 with Page 20 - Page 19 with Page 2 etc. as an example.

Planning your booklet

Let's say your booklet is going to be around the 20 page mark plus a cover.

Grab some sheets of blank paper, and start to make up a dummy booklet.

BACK
COVER
FRONT
COVER

The back cover will fold in behind the front cover.

If the cover was going to be printed on the inside, then we'd have these 2 pages.

INSIDE FRONT
COVER
INSIDE BACK
COVER


Page 1 needs to start on the right-hand page. (Odd numbers on the right, even numbers on the left).

Remember, page 20 will fold in behind page 1.

20
1

2
19

As you can see from the above, Page 2 - 19 will be printed on the reverse of Page 1 - 20.

So, Page 2 will immediately go behind Page 1.


18
3

4
17


And so on . . .

Carry on putting your dummy booklet together until you end up with the complete set of pages.

If you are using a professional layout program such as Adobe
In-Design© or QuarkXpress© then an easy way to identify your pages, whilst putting together the booklet, is to put the page numbers to the left and right hand sides of the workspace, (so it doesn't get printed), in large lettering. That way you can easily see the complete picture.

Publishing your book / booklet

A common scenario is this. You have a book, or booklet that you need to get published and have spent hundreds of hours putting together all the text and images, many of which may need scanning-in by your print shop.

You approach your local printer, only to be told that due to economies of scale a minimum cost-effective run would be 500 / 1000 copies. When estimating all the artwork / layout involved it transpires that the job is going to be very costly.

OK, you may have total faith in your project and believe it may sell well, but because of the costs involved you'd prefer to somehow test the water.

At this stage, depression starts to creep in and you wished you'd done all the costing exercises before getting to this stage.

Well, all is not lost. This is where self-publishing can help.

What is self-publishing?

Well, if you've ever tried to publish a book you will already know the massive amount of work that can be involved - copyrights, ISBN catalogue procedure, barcoding, advertising etc. are just some of the aspects you need to address.

There is now a solution to this common problem. There are companies that handle all aspects of firstly, getting your project into print and then taking care of all the nitty-gritty that follows this stage, right up to helping with advertising etc. The main point of consideration however is - if you only need 1, 5, or 10 copies of your book, or whatever amount you decide, then that is perfectly acceptable. Copyright is 100% yours - no need to sign away part of the ownership with a publisher.

There are many, many benefits publishing your book in this way. It could mean the difference in having a pile of unsold books in your garage collecting dust, or having your books produced singly on-demand whenever you need them with enough profit margin to make the excercise really worthwhile.

The costs involved are extremely favourable and work out much cheaper than conventional lithographic methods where you need to bulk-buy to get the best deal.

Another plus point is the fact that should you wish to change something in your book, then you don't have to scrap a whole bunch of pre-printed ones, as this is all factored in with on-demand printing.

If on-demand publishing is not what you need and you wish to receive a quotation for your litho-printed booklet then please contact Debbie on: 01635 255 552

Value . . .

It's unwise to pay too much, but it's unwise to pay too little.

When you pay too much you lose a little money, that is all.

When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing you bought it to do.

The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot.

It can't be done.

If you deal with the lowest bidder, it's well to add something for the risk you run.

And if you do that, you will have enough to pay for something better.

John Ruskin (1819 - 1900)
