Pricing Table for Digital Fast Stapled Catalogs
| Quantity | Size | Paper Type | Printing Cost (incl. staple) | Total Approx. Cost with Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 50 sets × 8 pages | 8.5×11 | 100lb gloss text, double-sided | $135 | ~$150.56 |
Understanding Sets × Pages Math
When ordering catalogs, think of them like color copies, but with the added benefit of a center staple. For example, 50 sets of 8-page catalogs result in 400 impressions. Whether you’re ordering a small batch or a larger quantity, understanding the math helps you plan and budget accordingly. Each set consists of 8 double-sided pages, and since each page is printed on both sides, the total number of printed sides (impressions) is 400. This math is crucial for budgeting your project effectively and avoiding unexpected costs.
Binding Details and Benefits
Our Digital Fast Stapled Catalogs come with saddle stitch binding, which involves placing staples along the centerfold. This method is ideal for catalogs with fewer pages, ensuring that they lay flat and are easy to flip through. It’s a great choice for short lookbooks, sales kits, and more. However, be mindful that bleed can affect sheet count, so consult us if your design includes bleed. Saddle stitching is not only cost-effective but also provides a professional finish, making your catalogs stand out while keeping production costs manageable.

Digital Fast vs. Express Offset
Our Digital Fast production offers a swift 1-2 day turnaround, perfect for immediate needs. In contrast, our standard Express offset catalogs, available through our multi-page custom catalog printing service, typically require a 2-3 day turnaround. Consider your timeline and budget to choose the best option for your project. While Express Offset might offer more customization options, Digital Fast is unbeatable for speed and efficiency when time is of the essence.
One Honest Limitation
While our production speed is among the few top U.S. online printers, please remember that production time does not include transit. Be sure to account for shipping duration when planning your project timeline. For example, if you’re located in Rhode Island, ground shipping may take an additional day, so factor this into your scheduling to ensure timely delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do sets and pages affect the price?
The price of your digital fast stapled catalogs is significantly influenced by the number of sets and pages each set contains. For instance, a set of 50 books, each with 8 pages, results in 400 impressions. This specific configuration costs approximately $135 for printing, including a center-staple fee, but excluding shipping. Altering the number of pages or sets will modify the total cost proportionally. Each additional page increases the number of impressions, affecting both cost and production time.
What does 50 books of 8 pages cost on Digital Fast?
For an order of 50 books, each consisting of 8 pages, the printing cost is about $135. This price includes the center-staple fee but does not cover shipping, which might add approximately $15.56 for ground delivery, bringing the total to around $150.56. Prices may vary slightly depending on the shipping destination, so use the live form calculator for precise estimates. This precise breakdown allows you to plan your budget effectively, ensuring there are no surprises at checkout.
Is center staple the only binding on this page?
Yes, for digital fast stapled catalogs, center staple binding is the only option available on this page. This method is efficient and cost-effective for small to medium-sized catalogs. If you require alternative binding methods, such as perfect binding, you may want to explore other product pages or consult with our team for custom solutions. Center staple binding also ensures that your catalogs are easy to handle and distribute.
Can each catalog show a different dealer name?
Yes, each catalog can display a different dealer name through Variable Data Printing (VDP), which is available by request. This service incurs an additional cost and is not a standard option on the order form. For precise pricing and setup, contact our customer service to discuss your specific requirements and obtain a personalized quote. Implementing VDP can greatly enhance the personalization of your catalogs, making them more engaging for recipients.
Why might Full Bleed show unavailable?
Full Bleed might show as unavailable due to the limitations in the digital fast production process, which is optimized for quick and efficient turnaround. Full Bleed requires additional setup and trimming that might not be feasible within the express timeline. For larger orders or specific needs, reaching out to our support team can provide alternative solutions or recommendations. Full Bleed options may be available in other product categories if your project timeline allows for longer production.
How do Digital Fast catalogs compare to standard multi-page catalogs?
Digital Fast stapled catalogs offer a quicker production time of 1-2 business days and are ideal for urgent projects. In contrast, standard multi-page catalogs may offer more options like different binding methods but typically have longer turnaround times. The Digital Fast option is less customizable but excels in speed and cost-efficiency for straightforward projects requiring rapid delivery. This makes Digital Fast an excellent choice for time-sensitive promotions or events.
How fast is production?
Production for digital fast stapled catalogs is remarkably swift, with express production taking only 1-2 business days. This quick turnaround is possible thanks to our Rhode Island digital press, which is optimized for speed without compromising on quality. Keep in mind, however, that shipping time is additional and varies by destination, so plan accordingly. Efficient production processes ensure that you can meet tight deadlines without sacrificing the professional quality of your printed materials.
What staple fee should I expect?
The center-staple fee is included in the base printing price for digital fast stapled catalogs. For example, an order of 50 sets with 8 pages each already incorporates this fee into its $135 printing cost. This means you won’t face unexpected additional charges for stapling, making budgeting and planning more straightforward. Knowing that the staple fee is included helps simplify the ordering process, allowing you to focus on other aspects of your project.
