Common Book Printing questions
How is Page Count Determined?
Each side of a sheet counts as one page, so a book’s cover alone includes 4 pages: front cover, inside front cover, inside back cover, and back cover. Binding-Specific Page Counts: Saddle Stitch: Requires page counts divisible by 4. Perfect Binding & Wire-O: Requires page counts divisible by 2.
What’s the Maximum or Minimum Page Count?
The binding method you choose will influence the page count range: Saddle Stitching: Works best for projects between 8 and 60 pages, with page counts in multiples of 4. Perfect Binding: Suitable for 32 pages + cover and up, with page counts in multiples of 2. Spiral or Wire-O Binding: This option is flexible and can handle page counts from just a few pages up to 520 on thinner stock, with page counts in multiples of 2.
