Book and Booklet Size

Book and booklet size refers to the area of one page (for example, this booklet is an A5 size).
A5 (210mm x 148.5mm)

The majority of books and booklets are produced at A5 size because it is a good size to handle and it is more economical.
SRA5 (225mm x 160mm)

Also an economical size and being a little larger than A5 is preferred by some of our customers.
A4 (297mm x 210mm)

This size is generally used when a large area is required for diagrams, illustrations or photographs.

Other sizes can be produced but are not as economical.

 

How many pages are in the book?

When creating the content for a book, it is important to keep in mind that the number of pages in your document will impact the way it is produced. If you plan to saddle-stitch a book, the final page count must be a multiple of four, so you'll have to create enough content to produce that many pages. If a book is to be perfect-bound, it will have a spine. The number of pages and the thickness of the paper in the book determine the width of the spine, so that should also be a consideration when producing content. Once you know how many pages there will be in a book, you can determine the type of paper used to print the book.
