The live form opens on Size 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical, 16 pages (4 cover, 12 inside), 100 lb. Gloss Book, Self Cover, quantity 100. That is the billed row on this page. Six trims sit on the dropdown: 5.5″ x 8.5″, 6″ x 9″, and 8.5″ x 11″, each Vertical or Horizontal. Page counts run from 8 pages (4 cover, 4 inside) through 96 pages in steps of four. Interior papers are 100 lb. Gloss Book, 80 lb. Gloss Book, and 80 lb. Matte Text. Cover stock includes Self Cover as the default, plus 100 lb. Gloss Cover and two 14 pt. Gloss Cover rows with UV on all sides or UV on the front and back cover. Binding on this calculator is the stitch on the fold.
Use this page for a wedding program, a wine list, a school recital book, or a short lookbook that people hold for one evening. The default 16-page open is a typical program length. Magazines on this shop open at quantity 500 and bill a heavier carton for a periodical run. Multi-page catalogs open at quantity 250 for a SKU book. Digital Fast stapled catalogs is the 49-piece 8.5″ x 11″ sibling on a locked Express clock with only letter and half letter.

Use a Predesigned Design Studio card on this page when you want the 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical spread already set, then Order this art so the file lands back on this form with that trim selected and the art attached. The bleed-and-safe cards below are the download sheets for these booklet trims. Keep text off the stitch. Export pages in reader order in multiples of four. The live price list follows those cards so you can compare the default $178.95 print row before you upload.
Who should skip this page
Buy this page if you need 25 to 100,000 stapled programs on the six trims and a self cover or 14 pt UV wrap is enough. Skip it if the piece is a dated issue with a masthead and a contents page at a 500-copy default. That job is magazine printing, which bills $1,187.48 print on its default 500. Skip it if the book is a product list with SKUs and prices at a 250-copy default. That is multi-page catalog printing, $481.37 print on its default 250. Skip it if you only need 49 letter-size stapled copies on a 1-2 day digital path. That is Digital Fast stapled catalogs.
Pages, cover wrap, and the billed hundred
Count pages, not sheets. Every folded sheet carries four printed pages, so 10 pages is not a priced step. Self Cover uses the same interior paper on the wrap. The 14 pt. Gloss Cover UV rows are the stiff program wrap when the book will sit on a wet bar or a lobby table. 100 lb. Gloss Book is the photo interior. 80 lb. Matte Text is the readable text interior. Reset Size 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical and Quantity 100 to recover the live $178.95 print open.

How production time and shipping differ
The turnaround label on the form is the print clock. Ground Shipping, 2nd Day Air, and Next Day Air start after that clock. One hundred default 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical booklets to ZIP 33140 on Ground is $16.55 in transit on the billed row. That ship line is lighter than the magazine default carton. Air does not change the stitch or the page count. It only changes the carton speed after the books are packed.
This page is stapled on the fold. A glued journal spine is not assumed. Page counts must be a multiple of four. Quantity 25 is the floor. Digital Fast stapled catalogs stops at 5,000 and only offers 8.5" x 11" and 5.5" x 8.5". Do not promise a 6" x 9" Horizontal on the Digital Fast sibling.
Artwork and the upload path
Export one PDF in reader order with the page count you selected. Add 0.125″ bleed when color runs to the trim. Keep names and page numbers inside the safe margin and off the stitch. A landscape file belongs on a Horizontal trim. A portrait program belongs on Vertical. Open a Predesigned Design Studio card on the 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical canvas, then use Order this art so the trim is already selected and the art attached.
Booklet questions
Is this the same calculator as magazines or catalogs?
No. The six trims look related, but the billed defaults are different jobs. This booklet form opens at 100 copies and $178.95 print for a program or menu. Magazines open at 500 copies and $1,187.48 print for a dated issue with a heavier Ground carton. Multi-page catalogs open at 250 copies and $481.37 print for a SKU book. Digital Fast stapled catalogs is the 49-piece 8.5″ x 11″ path. Pick the URL that matches the use, not the trim name.
Can I get a glued spine on this booklet page?
This calculator is the stitch on the fold. Self Cover and the 14 pt. Gloss Cover UV wraps are the cover choices, not a perfect-bound journal. If you need a glued spine, read the binding field on the catalog page before you promise one. Stay here when a stapled program is enough. The default hundred still bills $178.95 print and $16.55 Ground to 33140. Do not assume a hardcover or a sewn bind from this URL.
Why start at 25 when flyers start at 100?
Booklets ride a different quantity ladder. Twenty-five is the first priced stitch run, so a church program or a tasting menu can start small. The ladder then climbs to 100,000. The billed default on this page is still 100 copies at $178.95 print. Digital Fast stapled catalogs starts at 49 and stops at 5,000 on letter and half letter only. A 6″ x 9″ event book belongs here, not on that 49-piece sibling.
What does Self Cover mean next to the 14 pt UV rows?
Self Cover prints the wrap on the same interior paper. It is the lighter program feel. The form also lists 100 lb. Gloss Cover and two 14 pt. Gloss Cover rows, one with UV on all sides and one with UV on the front and back cover. Those 14 pt UV wraps are the stiff bar-proof cover. Magazines on this shop do not list those 14 pt UV cover rows. Reset the default hundred to see $178.95 print before you change the wrap.
How should I build the booklet PDF?
One reader-order PDF. Pages in multiples of four. 300 DPI. Bleed 0.125″ if ink hits the trim. Keep type off the stitch and inside the cyan safe line on the guideline card. Design Studio Order this art lands back on this booklet form with the 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical canvas attached. A single 8.5″ x 11″ flyer paste-up is not a 16-page booklet. Count the pages in the form, then match that count in the file.
When should I leave for Digital Fast stapled catalogs?
Leave when you need 49 to 5,000 stapled copies of 8.5″ x 11″ or 5.5″ x 8.5″ on that sibling’s Express clock. Stay here when you need 6″ x 9″, a Horizontal trim, a 14 pt UV cover, or a run past 5,000. This long booklet ladder starts at 25 and bills $178.95 print at the default 100. The Digital Fast page will not grow a 6″ x 9″ wine list.
If the job is 100 stapled 5.5″ x 8.5″ Vertical programs, keep the live $178.95 print open, then add the order from this page.
