Question
What page counts are required for booklets?
Answer
Booklet page counts depend on the binding method, because each style folds and secures the pages differently. Saddle-stitch booklets are built in fixed increments, so a file sometimes needs to be rounded up or down to a valid page count before it is submitted.
| Binding | Page increment | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Saddle stitch | Multiples of 4 | Thinner booklets, catalogs, programs |
| Perfect bound | Even counts with enough pages for a spine | Thicker books and professional reports |
- Count every side of every sheet as a page, including the cover.
- If your file is a few pages off, adjust to the nearest valid increment.
- Blank pages can be added to reach a required count.
Check the page-count guidance on the booklet product page, or contact support and the team can help you land on the correct count.
