What is a self cover booklet?
A self cover booklet is a saddle-stitched booklet where the cover is printed on the same paper stock as the internal pages—no thicker cover stock is used. This makes it lightweight, flexible, and cost-effective. It’s ideal for programs, brochures, catalogues, or any short-run job where speed, simplicity, and budget matter.

Choosing Between Self Cover and Card Cover Booklets
Deciding on the right cover style comes down to how your booklet will be used.
Self Cover Booklets
These are printed using the same stock throughout, meaning your cover and inside pages are all on the same paper. The result is a more flexible, lightweight booklet that’s perfect for quick reads, internal use, or large-volume giveaways. Ideal for programs, schedules, brochures, and mail-outs where cost and speed matter.
Card Cover Booklets
These include a separate, thicker outer cover, usually 250–350gsm, that wraps around your inner pages. It adds structure and a more professional finish—ideal for externally distributed materials like catalogues, product guides, and client presentations.
💡 Need help deciding? If you want something more durable or premium-feeling, go card cover. If it’s for short-term use or internal handouts, self cover is a smart, efficient choice.
