Question
How should I specify my booklet dimensions and binding?
Answer
Always order to the finished (folded) size, meaning the dimensions of the booklet when it is closed and ready to hand out. 4OVER4 saddle stitches booklets from folded sheets, so the way you plan your page count matters.
- Give the finished, closed size you want, not the flat spread size.
- Count every page including the front and back covers when you plan your total.
- Keep the total page count in multiples of 4, since each folded sheet adds four pages.
- Have a custom size or a very high page count in mind? 4OVER4 support can confirm what binds cleanly.
| Finished size | Binding |
|---|---|
| 5.5" x 8.5" | Saddle stitch |
| 8.5" x 11" | Saddle stitch |
| 11" x 11" | Saddle stitch |
Options and turnaround can vary by product and may change, so confirm the latest details on the product page or with 4OVER4 support.
