Printing options for a welcome booklet

• Format:

At Copymage, you can choose exactly the format you want according to your taste, your budget, your company's graphic identity, etc.

Here are some of the most commonly used formats for creating a welcome booklet:

• A6 format (105 x 148 mm): this is a small format that will give your welcome booklet the appearance of a pocket book.
• The A5 format (148 x 210 mm) is a compact format for a welcome booklet that combines a significant printing surface and ease of transport. A top edge binding will give it a notebook look.
• A4 format (210 x 297 mm): this is a standard format that will give your welcome booklet a "large notebook" look that will allow you to take notes - you can also provide a few blank pages for this purpose.
• The extended postcard format (100 x 210 mm): this is an original format for a welcome booklet.
• The square format (150 x 150 mm or 200 x 200 mm): it allows the creation of an original and synthetic welcome booklet.

• Binding:

As with the company brochure, we recommend that you opt for a stapled binding for your welcome booklet. This binding method is economical while offering a simple and elegant "magazine" look. Its complete opening "flat" allows a great reading comfort and authorizes the positioning of illustrations and texts "astride" on two pages located side by side.

However, the stapled binding places some constraints on the design of your welcome booklet: it must contain a number of pages that is a multiple of 4 and that is less than 40 pages. Beyond that, we advise you to choose :

• or a spiral binding, less formal but just as practical and economical,
• or a glued square back binding, very chic with its "book" look, but which requires more time for finishing.
