Practical & professional
With an eye towards higher quantities and lower costs, self-cover booklets are a streamlined and simple way to reach your audience. “Self-cover” just means that you have the option to use the same paper stock for the cover and the inside pages, creating a lightweight and portable option that you can use in almost any setting or situation. The crisp, high-quality printing shows you’re a pro, and up to 76 customizable pages let you get important info to customers however you want to. From advertising leaflets to user guides for products, self-cover booklets help you get the job done.
Do-it-all flexibility
Above all else, self-cover booklets give you the flexibility you need. They’re easy to move, store and pack. They’re also a little less formal (and pricey) than some of our other folders and holders, which makes them approachable to customers and budget-friendly for you. And while people most often use them as product catalogs or event programs, they’re also a great option for instruction manuals, presentation guides and storefront takeaways. Some people even include them in direct mail campaigns or use them as newsletters.
Design tools & help

You can find it under ‘Specs & Templates,’ right on this page. Start by downloading your template file in a format that matches your design software. Then, you’re ready to get started! As you put together your design, keep our guidelines handy to make sure things like page order and bleed are correct.
