Heavyweight Booklet Printing | Premium Thick Paper

Technical specifications – heavyweight booklet printing

Construction: A booklet produced using substantially heavier paper/card than a conventional brochure, creating greater rigidity and bulk. Binding and maximum page count depend on the selected format and stock combination.

Material behaviour: Heavy stocks increase stiffness and perceived quality but also increase fold stress. Designs with dense ink coverage across folds may require appropriate creasing/finishing to reduce visible cracking.

Artwork: Supply a 300dpi CMYK PDF with fonts embedded or outlined and 3mm bleed on all trimmed edges. Keep important content within the safe area and avoid placing small type directly on a fold or binding line.

Page planning: Because paper thickness accumulates quickly, heavyweight booklets are generally suited to lower or moderate page counts. Use the current product selector to confirm available stock, page extent and binding before finalising pagination.

Colour and finishing: Coated stocks reproduce stronger colour and photography; uncoated stocks give a more tactile, softer result. Selected cover/stock combinations may support lamination.

Production note: Do not calculate final bulk using gsm alone—gsm is paper weight per square metre, not thickness. Actual caliper varies by paper type. If finished thickness, mailing weight or fit inside packaging is critical, request/confirm the exact specification before production.
