Saddle-stitched booklets are folded and stapled on the spine. They are the most common choice for programs, small catalogs and guides with a lower page count. The page count needs to be a multiple of four.
Perfect-bound booklets have a flat, glued spine like a paperback. They suit thicker catalogs, reports and books, and the spine can carry a title.
Spiral-bound booklets lay flat on a desk, which makes them a good fit for workbooks and manuals.
Covers usually print on a heavier stock than the inside pages, with gloss, matte or soft-touch finishes. Inside pages come in gloss, matte or uncoated paper, depending on whether the booklet is mostly photos or mostly reading.
