FAQ
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 and 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.
What is the difference between coated and uncoated paper?
Coated paper has a smooth finish that visually sharpens images and enhances color. The coating can be glossy or semi-gloss, depending on the desired effect, but both options contribute to a polished, professional look.
Uncoated paper has a natural, porous surface. It’s perfect for projects where readability and a tactile feel are priorities. It’s also a practical option for items that need to be written on, like letterheads or notepads.
Should I Choose Color or Black-and-White Printing for My Bound Product?
If your project includes color anywhere – even a single image or logo – it’s a 4-color (4C) job. Our standard pricing is designed for 4C printing, providing vibrant, professional results fast.
Single-color (one-ink) printing is available by custom quote and may offer some cost savings, but 4C remains the most common option. If you’re unsure, we are happy to talk with you to determine the best options for your unique printing needs.
How Long Does it Take to Produce a Bound Product?
Once PDF proofs are approved, production can take approximately 3 days for saddle stitched publications and roughly 3-5 days for perfect bound, plus shipping. Shipping times vary from next-day delivery to a few days, depending on your location relative to our NYC print house.
If you need a precise timeline, send us your project details, and we’ll set up a schedule that works for you.
How Can I Avoid Delays in Prepress and Design?
Before submitting your file, double-check that it’s set up correctly to prevent any prepress delays:
- Bright, high-resolution images (300 dpi)
- Files exported with crop marks and 1/8” bleed all around
- Files exported as single pages within one PDF

“TGP saved us in a crisis! Due to unpredictable circumstances, our art gallery wasn’t able to send our catalog to print as early as planned, and ended up on a serious time crunch to get the project done for an upcoming event. Glen and Rory helped me get the files print-ready and met our deadline with little stress. The final product was exactly what we needed and the team was great to work with start to finish. Thank you!!” – Clanci C
“Efficient, very receptive, and all-around a pleasure to work with. I needed a 50 page art catalog printed and bound in 5 days, and Thomas Group got it done seamlessly. Highly recommend!” – Alex L
