Question
What does 'pages plus cover' mean for booklets?
Answer
The phrase "pages plus cover" means the interior pages and the cover are counted as two separate parts of the booklet. Keeping them separate makes it clear how many inside pages you have and avoids confusion when you set up your file.
- Example: "16 pages plus cover" is 16 interior pages, plus a front and back cover.
- The cover is often a different, heavier stock than the interior.
- Counting the cover separately keeps the interior page structure easy to plan.
- Confirm whether inside covers are printed or left blank in your setup.
When you build your file, label the cover and interior spreads clearly so production matches your intended layout.
