A booklet means a set of papers in the form of a book, which gives information about a particular subject. The number of papers in the set is very few, which does not give an impression of a book.
Printing these papers and forming them in a book is called booklet printing in Boulder, CO. There are many ways by which you can print, the most common being offset Printing. This is the most economical when we must print items like Booklet in bulk, which are generally printed in hundreds of numbers. Nowadays even digital printing is used when the numbers are less, or the booklet contains colourful pictures and the booklet is required in a shorter time. Digital printing is fast but not so economical.
The method used for Booklet printing is the Saddle-Stitch Binding method, which is the most common Booklet printing method. In this method, Printed sheets are folded and nested together in the form of one inside the other, and then stapled through the folded lines. This method is fast and can be used in almost all kinds of booklets.
Common Types of Printing are:
- Screen Printing
- Digital Printing
- Rotary screen printing
- Flexographic Printing
- Gravure Printing
- Surface Printing
Papers used for Booklet printing are:
- Silk- Recommended as a default paper for booklet printing.
- Gloss- It is a shiny paper that gives a premium feel, generally used for premium products.
- Uncoated- It is a rough paper that gives a vintage look. The colors are a little dull.
Paper thickness is the most important part which decides the cost of the booklet. The paper thickness is 115 to 130 gsm for inner papers and 170 to 250 gsm for the cover papers.
Generally, to present the booklet in a better way the covers are laminated. This kind of lamination gives a rich look to the booklet. There are two types of laminations:
Gloss Lamination
Matt Lamination
The last part of the booklet is binding. There are three types of binding used for booklets:
- Staple bound- This is known as Saddle Stitched. Two staples hold the booklet together.
- Perfect bound- In this case, the papers are glued, just like a paperback book.
- Wiro bound- This is also known as Spiral binding. This is less used for booklet binding unless the booklet is big enough.
