Question

Can different papers be used on the outside and the inside of Booklets or Catalogs?

Answer

Yes. Booklets and catalogs often use different paper types for the inside pages and the outside cover, which is a popular way to add durability and a premium feel.

  • Pair a heavier cover stock with a lighter text stock for the inside pages.
  • A thicker cover protects the book and gives it a more finished look.
  • Mixing stocks can also help manage the overall weight and cost.
