A Compact Square Format That Packs a Punch

This isn't your standard A5 or A4. The 148?×?148?mm square size is compact, tidy, and very designer. It gives your content a neat, uniform feel while standing out from the typical booklets you see around. It opens like a normal book, but the square shape gives it a fresh, modern aesthetic. It's perfect for portfolios, lifestyle brands, lookbooks, boutique brochures, and even instruction manuals.

Their square shape and neat binding make them hard to ignore, people are more likely to keep them, not throw them away. That's great for marketing that lasts.

Page Count: 40–88 Pages for That Professional Spine

Perfect binding needs a bit of thickness to work properly. That's why our 148 mm square perfect bound booklets start at 40 pages and go up to 88. This range is perfect for when you need your booklet to feel substantial but not bulky.

Here's how people usually split it up:

• 40–56 pages: For quick guides, short brochures, instruction manuals
• 60–72 pages: Great for product lookbooks, presentations, small catalogues
• 80–88 pages: For feature-rich content, portfolios, case studies, annual reports

Not sure if your file is thick enough? Send it over, we'll take a look and let you know if it's suitable, or if you need to pad it out, we can help with that too, without fluffing it.

We offer:

• 90 gsm Premium Smooth White: Lightweight and everyday option.
• 100 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Clean, with a premium feel.
• 115 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Slightly thicker. Smooth finish.

• 150 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Closer to magazine quality. Substantial feel.
• 170 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Top tier. Feels luxurious and pro-level.

Gloss finishes are vibrant and shiny, ideal for high-colour artwork.
Silk finishes are smooth and low sheen, good for a sophisticated look.
Uncoated paper feels a bit rough and is good for writing on or eco-friendly projects.

Make That First Impression Count

Your cover is the first thing people notice, so it should match the look and feel you're going for. We have options for boht.

Cover Stock Options:

• 250 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Lightweight but presentable.
• 250 gsm Uncoated: Raw and natural.
• 300 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk): Heavy and durable.

We usually suggest the 300gsm option if your booklets will be handled a lot or sent through the post.

Add Texture and Protection

Lamination doesn't just protect your cover, it transforms how your booklet feels in the hand.

Lamination Options:

• None: Natural feel, raw paper texture
• One Side Gloss: Shiny, slick, and bold
• One Side Matte: Smooth, minimal, professional

Soft touch lamination is especially popular for high-end presentations, brand books, or luxury marketing materials.

• 1 working day – Still fast. This one works well if you've got a little time, but not much.

If you're near Croydon or London, you can pick it up. Otherwise, we'll send it to you anywhere in the UK. No fuss.

Order As Much or As Little As You Need

You don't need to order loads if you don't want to. We print what you ask for, simple as that:

• 25–100 copies – Good for small things like meetings, events, or samples.

Not sure how many you need? Just ask. We'll help you figure out what makes sense for your budget and purpose.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is perfect binding?
Perfect binding is when the pages are glued together at the spine, creating a clean and square edge.

Can I print something on the spine?
Yes, you can but only if your booklet is thick enough. Usually, that means at least 60 pages.

Is 40 pages enough for perfect binding?
Yes, 40 pages is the minimum number for this type of binding to work properly. Anything less, and the glue won't hold the pages securely.

Do you offer eco-friendly or recycled paper?
Yes, we do. We've got recycled and uncoated paper options available.

What's the strongest cover you offer?
For durability and style, we recommend 300gsm Art paper with either soft-touch or matte lamination.

Do you have a template for 148 mm square booklets?
Yes, we do. We'll send you a template that includes bleed, safe zones, and spine width, so your artwork fits perfectly.

What's the smallest number I can order?
The minimum order is just 25 copies great if you don't need that many.

Can I order online or speak to someone first?
Whichever you prefer. You can place your order online anytime, or get in touch with us directly if you need help or advice.

Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes, we do. We print everything in Croydon and ship across London, the rest of the UK, and even internationally if needed.
