148 mm Square Stapled Bound Brochures Printing
Small, stylish, and perfectly balanced.
The 148 mm square stapled brochure is compact, contemporary, and versatile, making it one of the most popular booklet formats we print here in Croydon and London. These little square brochures are easy to carry and have a striking design that delivers a surprising punch.
We've printed square stapled brochures in Croydon for cafes needing tidy wine lists, London boutiques wanting premium product guides, and galleries creating neat exhibition catalogues. For local businesses, they're affordable and practical, but for creative brands, they're also a way to stand out, that square shape feels different in the hand, and people notice.
The Size: Why 148 mm square Works
148 mm square is compact and smaller than A5, which gives it a modern, minimal edge. There's still plenty of space for bold photography, short copy, and clean layouts.
Designers love it because the square shape feels balanced, is easy to grid out, and instantly eye-catching. Customers love it because it slips neatly into a bag, drawer, or envelope without bending. If you're posting out catalogues or event brochures across London, this size keeps postage costs down too. They're small enough to keep costs low while still looking polished.
Stock for Inside Pages: The Feel Matters
The stock you choose changes the whole experience. Even before anyone reads a word, the weight and texture set the tone. We offer a full range:
- 90 gsm uncoated – Lightweight, natural, and writable.
- 115 gsm silk – Smooth with a soft sheen.
- 120 gsm uncoated – Thicker and tactile.
- 130 gsm gloss – Bright and shiny.
- 150 gsm silk – Premium without being heavy.
- 170 gsm silk – Noticeably weighty and smooth.
- 170 gsm uncoated – Natural feel and eco-friendly.
If you're going for budget-friendly 148 mm square brochure printing in Croydon, 150 gsm silk is a safe all-rounder. If you want an eco look, go with uncoated, they're FSC-certified and recyclable. For something shiny and eye-catching, gloss is your go-to.
Binding Fold/Edge: How It Opens
These brochures are stapled through the fold and often called saddle-stitched, you can choose:
- Long edge bound – Classic, opens like a book.
- Short edge bound – Opens on the short side, good for landscape designs, charts, or a creative twist.
Most people go long edge, especially for catalogues and programmes. But if you want your 148 mm square stapled booklets in London to stand out, the short edge option really does make people look twice.
Covers: First Impressions Count
The cover is your handshake. It's the first thing people touch and see, and it sets expectations for what's inside. You can match the inside pages or choose something heavier for more presence.
Our cover options include:
- 90 gsm uncoated
- 115 gsm silk
- 120 gsm uncoated
- 130 gsm gloss
- 150 gsm silk
- 170 gsm silk
- 170 gsm uncoated
- 250 gsm silk
- 250 gsm uncoated
- 350 gsm silk
If you're printing premium 148 mm square brochures in London, a 250 gsm or 350 gsm cover feels solid and professional. Pair it with lamination for durability, and it looks more like a keepsake than a throwaway.
Number of Pages: Slim or Substantial
We can print from 8 pages up to 72 pages (including the cover). Page counts always need to be in multiples of four, that's just how folded sheets work.
- For short event programmes or menus, 8–16 pages is plenty.
- For catalogues or lookbooks, 32–48 pages hits the sweet spot.
- If you're edging close to 72 pages, we'll let you know if perfect binding might be a better fit.
For example, we've done 148 mm square stapled catalogues in Croydon at 32 pages, ideal for seasonal product launches.
Lamination: A Protective Layer
Lamination does two things, it keeps your cover safe and changes how it feels when you hold it.
Here are the options:
- No Lamination – plain and natural.
- Gloss Lamination (single or double sided) – shiny and bright.
- Matte Lamination (single or double sided) – smooth and without shine.
- Soft Touch Lamination (single or double sided) – velvety feel with a high-end touch.
Embellishments: The Extra Finishing
If you want to stop people mid-flip, embellishments are the way:
- Spot UV high build (single or double sided) – Glossy and raised highlights.
- Spot UV low build (single or double sided) – Glossy accents and smooth.
- Gold foil (single sided) – Elegant and traditional.
- Silver foil (single sided) – Sleek and modern.
Turnaround: Quick or Scheduled
Deadlines are different for everyone, so we keep things flexible.
- 1 working day – For urgent jobs like same-day or next-day square stapled brochures in Croydon.
- 3–4 working days – Our standard option, great for bigger print runs at the best price.
