Larger Full Sized Booklets 56+ Pages

We strongly recommend that customers order a physical poof.

Our normal booklet printing pages only go up to 52+ pages, but we can actually print them a little larger.

If you need less than 52 pages or less, please pick one of our booklet types.

Large Booklet Details

Larger booklets are folded and saddle-stitched (stapled) and are ideal for thicker catalogs and magazines. Our inexpensive gloss papers and elegant matte stocks matched with rich digital colors make Printkeg an incredible destination for booklet printing. 

Booklets generally feel a little thicker than our gloss companions. The digital printing technique we utilize, combined with quality uncoated paper stocks, employs a sophisticated and classic matte finish.

Details

Custom booklets and magazines are considered "full bleed" or borderless. White margins are typically preserved unless specified differently by the customer. Please allow enough lead time for proofing, setup, and production. If you have a tight deadline, please feel free to contact us concerning your project.

Turnaround

Turnaround for large booklet printing varies due to setup time, proof times, and approval times. We ask customers with strict deadlines to please speak with a Printkeg customer representative beforehand so we can work closely and stay on schedule. Please provide a deadline date in the messages field on the above form if possible.

Most projects require five business days.

Proofs

We urge new customers to order a physical proof for all booklet printing. We cannot always guarantee 100% accuracy for orders requesting "no proof," so physical proofs can be very beneficial. Please advise turnaround time begins at the time of the approval of the physical proof.

We recognize some customers do not have the extra time for a physical proof, so a digital proof might be sufficient. Please let us know in the messages field above if a digital proof is required. Typically physical proofs are mailed by UPS as soon as art is print-ready.  

If you do not wish to see any form of proof, the file will be closely analyzed by our designers in the Art Department to ensure quality, resolution, and bleed. 

Sending Art

In most cases, large booklet art should be directly emailed to the Art Department at art@printkeg.com. Please include your order number as the subject line when emailing files. If your file is too large, you may send us your art via a third-party storage app such as Dropbox or Google Drive.

Art Setup

Files can be submitted to us in various ways. Most clients turn art in as a multipage PDF document with .25” bleed area. For instance, an 8.5 X 11 booklet should be 8.75 x 11.25. The key to well-printed books is providing enough bleed/trim area (keep important text and images away from the edges).

We prefer booklets to be submitted as multipage files with a .25” bleed area. Some customers find submitting newsletter/booklet pages individually and numbered easily. Please name the cover page 1.jpg or 1.pdf. Again, we prefer the pages to be submitted as a single document.

Art can also be submitted in spread format. This is an acceptable, and sometimes preferable, method depending on the artwork; however, it is not required.

Shipping Larger Booklets

Custom booklets are shrinkwrapped in stacks of varying sizes depending on the order quantity and box size. We use bubble wrap to further support and protect prints. Invoices are not included inside packages.
