As your short-run book printer, we do our best to offer all types of books, including softcover, hardcover, and spiral. We now also offer saddle-stitched booklet printing. Saddle-stitched books allow for lower page counts, making them perfect for short documents, marketing materials, programs, small catalogs, and more. Booklets lay fairly flat when opened and offer a clean, professional look without the cost of more complex bindings. With competitive pricing, expert support, and reliable U.S. production, we make it easy to print booklets that feel premium and leave a lasting impression.
You've likely seen saddle-stitched books in the form of catalogs, brochures, and magazines with small page counts. The interior pages are printed on larger sheets that are then compiled, folded, and bound along the spine using a metal staple. Booklets are more portable than traditional hardcover or perfect bound books. They're perfect for projects that need structure and polish without the cost or complexity of traditional book binding.
At Gorham Printing, we offer a booklet binding style in our Online Pricing Tool. Our booklets can be between 4 and 96 pages. We also offer a variety of paper stocks, including white, glossy, and natural. If you would like help speccing out your custom booklet, Contact Us, and one of our print experts will be happy to walk you through the process.
Booklets work great for businesses, marketers, nonprofits, educators, event planners, and more. If the content is fewer than 100 pages and needs to be distributed quickly, a booklet is the ideal choice. Here are just a few types of booklets we can print:
Since we are a book printer and not a publisher, the books we print are owned by the authors/publishers. This means we cannot send out samples of their work to you without permission. However, we offer a free guidebook in softcover and booklet binding. If you are interested in seeing our printing quality and saddle-stitched booklet printing, Contact Us today to order a free guidebook sample!
Booklet cover and interiors are digitally printed in full color. We offer three paper stock packages. Our recommended stock for booklet cover and interiors is 80# Gloss Coated. This is a coated paper stock option that adds shine and durability to your content. We also offer uncoated paper options in both white and natural colors. Our complete booklet paper options include:
Booklet covers are unlaminated. We offer inside cover printing as an optional, premium feature. Booklet interior page counts must be between 4 and 96 pages and must be divisible by four.

Booklet printing costs are determined by your exact specs. We recommend using our Online Pricing Tool, which will give you an accurate price instantly. If you would like help, you can Contact Us to discuss what you are looking for, and we will walk you through the process.
Once you have placed your order with a half-down deposit and submitted your files, Gorham Printing will prepare a proof of your book. This proof will either be online or an unbound printed proof. When you approve your proof, production on your booklet can start. This takes usually 4-10 business days depending on your exact specs and quantity. Learn more about the book production process.
Booklets can only be printed in portrait orientation. We currently offer three standard trim sizes for booklets, including 5.5x8.5, 6x9, and 8.5x11 inches. If your desired trim size is not listed, Contact Us to discuss your options.
You can print as many as you want! We print booklets in quantities from 25-5000.

Booklets can be between 4 and 96 pages. Total page counts must be divisible by four. If you require a page count outside of this range, Contact Us so we can help you find the right book binding style for your project.

Working with Gorham has been simply the best experience for which I could have hoped. It’s my wish that all authors can have the same moment of overwhelming elation when they open a box of their own hardbound books.

This is the third book that Gorham Printing has printed for us. It's of the highest quality and our customers were very impressed. This was our first hardcover book and the binding, paper, and colors are outstanding.
