  4. PURPOSE First things first: Determine what your purpose for the booklet is. Is it a marketing brochure, a product catalog, or a company manual? This will dictate what type of you want to use.

One may need a stronger product for an educational or training program that would be subject to frequent handling. LEARN MORE www.printstarbooklets.com 03

  5. Suitable Paper Weight • Weight is one of the most essential features that give the overall feel and look of a booklet. It usually comes measured in pounds or grams per square meter. Some of the most commonly used are: • Standard Text (20lb or 80gsm): The best type for a multi-page. Such projects that do not require too much handling will go very well with this one. Examples of such projects are newsletters or brochures. • Cover Stock (80lb or 220gsm): If you want a more sturdy cover, then the use of cover stock would be just perfect. This would make look very professional and sturdy. • Heavyweight (100lb or 270gsm and higher): These heavier can be very useful if you want to have an ultimate, high-end. Catalogs and portfolios look amazing and solid because of these. www.printstarbooklets.com

  6. DECIDE THE FINISH The finish is the texture or appearance the surface gives out. Finish may influence both how a surface looks and feels as well as the way it performs when performance in durability and usability terms is in question. Many kinds of finishes exist. These include but are not limited to: • Gloss Finish A gloss finish will give the a shiny, reflective surface. It is most preferably used for those containing vibrant images and full-color designs, such as product catalogs or event brochures. It gives colors the ability to appear bright and crisp. • Matte Finish A matte finish has the appearance of being dull, not reflecting any kind of light. Many times, it's used for business reports, educational, or information sheets when it has to be read. 05 www.printstarbooklets.com

  7. CONSIDER DURABILITY Another concern when choosing for your spiral bound book is durability. Will the book get handled a lot, or is it a relatively stationary product? If you expect to have the book get a lot of use, like a manual or catalog, you may want to consider using thicker with a protective finish. Matte finish thick provides durability without giving up readability. Waterproof coatings will protect from spilled and stained, for example, in the workshops and the kitchenettes.

  8. MATCH PAPER TO YOUR BRANDING You will also want to make sure you choose to align with your brand image. So if your company or product is about high-end quality, you may want to use premium and a silk or gloss finish to reflect that. If your brand is based on sustainability, eco-friendly, uncoated would be a strong statement. An upscale brand may need a high-gloss finish applied on thick, high-grade to convey premium-ness. An eco-friendly company could consider recycling with an uncoated or matte finish that would reflect the company's concerns for the environment.
