Common Printed Booklet Sizes
Choosing the right size for your booklet is essential, as it impacts both the design and practicality of your finished product. While we can print custom booklets in almost any size, most clients prefer standard sizes for their efficiency and versatility.
Standard Size (Most Popular): 8.5″ x 11″ (210 mm x 297 mm internationally)
This size is ideal for catalogs, manuals, reports, and brochures. It’s professional, easy to handle, and commonly used for commercial and business purposes.Small Booklets: 5.5″ x 8.5″ (148 mm x 210 mm internationally)
This size is perfect for guides, instruction manuals, or compact brochures. It balances portability and readability.Pocket-Sized Booklets: Popular for warranties, user guides, and product manuals, these range from 4″ x 6″ to as small as 2″ x 3.5″. Compact and convenient, they’re perfect for packaging inserts or on-the-go use.
Why Choose Standard Sizes?
- Cost Efficiency: Standard sizes reduce waste during production, making them more economical.
- Consumer Expectations: These sizes feel familiar and are easy to store and distribute.
- Design Flexibility: Standard sizes provide ample space for clear layouts, images, and text while staying practical.
For unique projects, custom sizes are always an option, but remember they might involve higher costs due to additional setup and production requirements.

Perfect Bound Booklet Paper Options
Selecting the right paper for your booklet is key to achieving a polished, professional finish. At QinPrinting, we offer a range of high-quality paper options for both the interior pages and the cover, tailored to suit your content, design, and binding preferences.
Interior Paper Options
The interior paper needs to balance durability, readability, and visual appeal. Here are the most popular choices:
Coated Papers
Gloss and matte coated papers are ideal for booklets with high-quality images and vibrant colors. They provide a smooth surface for sharp details and excellent photo reproduction.- 105 gsm (71 lb)
- 128 gsm (86 lb)
- 157 gsm (106 lb)
- 200 gsm (135 lb) for thicker or perfect-bound booklets.
Uncoated Papers
Perfect for text-heavy booklets or those requiring a writable surface. Uncoated papers have a natural finish and softer feel.- 80 gsm (54 lb)
- 100 gsm (68 lb)
Thinner papers (80–128 gsm) are suitable for booklets with more pages, while thicker options (157–200 gsm) work well for shorter booklets or those needing extra durability.
Cover Paper Options
The cover paper serves as the booklet’s first impression, offering both protection and visual impact. Heavier paper is typically used to give a sturdy, high-end look:
- Gloss or Matte Coated Papers
- 200 gsm (74 lb)
- 250 gsm (92 lb)
- 300 gsm (111 lb)
- 350 gsm (129 lb)
Gloss covers are shiny and vibrant, making colors pop, while matte covers offer a more subtle and sophisticated appearance.
Choosing the Right Paper for Your Booklet
- For standard-sized booklets (e.g., 8.5″ x 11″), thicker interior paper (128 gsm or 157 gsm) ensures a premium look.
- Booklets with fewer than 32 pages may need heavier interior paper (200 gsm) for perfect binding to meet spine thickness requirements.
- Specialty papers, such as textured or holographic finishes, can make your booklet stand out for unique projects.
