Stitched Booklets

Multiple page booklets should be set up in a page layout program such as QuarkXpress or PageMaker. Each page of the booklet should be set up as a separate page in the file. The page size you select should be the folded size of your book. Select facing pages in your document setup window so you can view two pages at the same time. Then create the pages in reader spreads so the order is sequential.

If you have an odd number of pages, add blank pages so your total page count is a multiple of 4. Even page numbers go on the left. If the cover is printing on a different stock from the body, you can set up a separate four page document for the covers.

Note: Booklets that will be perfect bound have different setup specifications. Please see our instructions or call your sales representative with any questions.

This example is a typical 8 page booklet with the cover as page 1.
