What Is a Booklet?
A booklet is a small, thin book — typically 8 to 48 pages — made by folding and binding sheets together. Booklets are used for programs, guides, product manuals, brochures, and event handouts where a few pages of information need to feel finished and easy to carry.
What is a booklet used for?
Booklets suit any content that’s longer than a flyer but shorter than a full book: event programs, instruction guides, catalogs, company brochures, menus, and welcome packs. The bound, multi-page format signals more care and permanence than a single sheet.
How is a booklet made?
Print booklets are usually created with saddle stitching (folded sheets stapled at the spine) for lower page counts, or perfect binding (a glued flat spine) for thicker ones. Digitally, a booklet is usually laid out as a PDF, which can then be printed or shared online.
How do you share a booklet online?
Rather than emailing a PDF, you can turn the booklet into a page-turning flipbook and share a single link. Readers flip through it in the browser on any device, and you can add clickable links, branding, and view tracking.
FAQ
How many pages is a booklet?+
Booklets are typically 8 to 48 pages. Saddle-stitched booklets need a page count that’s a multiple of four because of how the folded sheets nest together.
What’s the difference between a booklet and a brochure?+
A brochure is often a single sheet folded into panels, while a booklet has multiple bound pages. Booklets hold more content and feel more like a small book.
