Tips On How To Customize A Custom Booklet by:Lynne Saarte

Many people talk about custom booklets, but they never really customize anything

. The most that they do for booklet printing is to just alter page numbers and page outlines, but more or less it is the same kind of custom booklets all the time. Well, in this article, I will teach you how to really customize your booklets from the ground up. There are several aspects in booklet printing that you can change.

Alter your shape

The first obvious thing that you can alter is the booklet shape. While usually you have booklets that are like books with a longer height than width forming a standing rectangle, it is easy to change this to something more interesting. You can invert the whole thing printing a lying rectangle with a short height and a longer length. Or if you want to really go away with customization, you can have your booklets printed in circle shapes, triangle shapes and other interesting forms. This type of customization can come in handy when you want to really be noticed with your booklets. From promotional booklets to special show programs, there are a lot of applications for this customization.

Use different binds

The binding of the pages is also a good area to do your customization. While most people will just use staple binding or perfect binding you can go for unique binding methods like twine, yarn, metallic wires etc. These types of binding can really be great especially if you have a prevailing theme with your booklet. Twine binding will be great for more crafty or earthy themes, while metallic wires are great for more modern themes. Just ask your booklet printer if they can do such binding though, otherwise you might have to do it yourself.

Use different papers

You can also try to customize your booklets by altering the choice of paper stock. Most people of course will choose the standard white paper stock for their booklets. It is the cheapest and most easy to use for any kinds of prints. However, it is possible to choose more interesting kinds of paper if you are willing to risk it. For example, you can use textured or glossy paper for your booklets. Glossy papers will shine with the light while textured ones offer tactile feedback to people reading it. You can indeed choose any kind of paper you want as long as it is part of your custom design for the booklet.

Add special features

Finally, if you want, you can also add in some extra special features to your color booklets to make them truly customized. You can put a small chip so that it can play a song, or you can add in metallic inks or ultraviolet paint to your design. All these special add-ons may cost you, but they sure make your color booklets very unique and truly customized.

So that is how you really customize a booklet. Try one of these ideas now!
