Question

What paper stock options are available for booklets?

Answer

The default booklet paper is 100# Gloss Text, a solid all-rounder that makes photos and full-color pages pop. If you want a lighter, more magazine-like feel, lighter weight stocks are available too, and you can mix and match stocks, running a heavier or coated cover over lighter interior pages.

  • 100# Gloss Text is the default and works best for image-heavy projects.
  • Interior stocks include 80lb to 100lb options in finishes like Silk Matte and Satin.
  • Lighter text weights give a thinner, magazine-style page and reduce overall bulk.
  • Choose a different paper for the cover than for the inside pages.
  • Coatings such as Gloss Aqueous are available to protect and finish the piece.
  • Paper weight changes both the thickness of the finished booklet and how it feels in hand.
  • Check the product specifications or request a quote to see every combination, and 4OVER4 customer service can recommend a stock for your page count.

Binding changes the page range. Saddle-stitched booklets and catalogs run 8 to 60 pages in steps of 4. Perfect bound books take 40 to 300 inside pages plus the cover, with a flat spine you can print the title on.
