Choosing the Best Size for Color Booklet Printing


Faced with a selection of different dimensions, you might find yourself struggling when it comes to deciding which size to go for in your color booklet printing project. Your decision will be based largely on the sort of job you're expecting your booklet to do for you, although your printing budget may also play a part in things.

The commonest size available for color booklet printing that's available from most commercial printers measures 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Smaller sizes are sometimes available but are not commonly used, and may cost more. The 5.5 x 8.5 size and its slightly larger companion the 6 x 9 are ideal for promoting specific product ranges or services that your company offers.

There's plenty of space for including pictures and charts, without needing to compromise on the amount of information you can give in the text. These two color booklet printing sizes suit a wide variety of purposes including event programs, children's books, educational books, smaller catalogs and instruction manuals.

Once you move up into the next size bracket of 8.5 x 11 inches, you're expanding the possibilities of what you're able to include. This size is roughly that of a piece of headed company paper, and allows a much more elaborate page layout and more ambitious design concepts.

Use the 8.5 x 11 size for your color booklet printing when it's important to create something of a stir. It will play a significant contribution to making a lasting, positive impression for your company or organization. Ideal uses include company reports, prospectuses for schools and colleges and brochures for up market hotels and destinations.

There are two large scale sizes available in color booklet printing, both of which are definitely in the attention drawing category! They measure 9 x 12 inches and 12 x 12 inches respectively and are certainly not for hiding away. These sizes are great when visual content is of paramount importance.

Their dimensions give the greatest scope for stunning photography and artwork. Either one could be used for an exhibition catalog or an informational booklet requiring a strong visual impact.

Additionally many children's books are printed using these sizes and this allows a wonderful, engaging story to be illustrated in a way that has maximum appeal to young readers.

Color booklet printing can be sourced at extremely competitive rates, and remember that unit price goes down dramatically as the quantity of booklets you order increases.
