Who should choose an 80lb gloss booklet in the 5.5×8.5 half size?
Choose this version when you want full-color pages on coated, glossy 80lb paper in a compact 5.5×8.5 finished size. It suits handheld pieces like event programs or small product guides where photos matter, but you don't need the heavier 100lb gloss sheet or the writable surface of 60lb offset.
Common questions
What do the pages of the 80lb gloss half-size booklet feel like?
The inside pages are coated, glossy 80lb paper printed in full color on both sides (4/4). The coating gives images a shiny surface, and 80lb is the lighter of the two gloss weights offered. At 5.5×8.5 finished, the booklet is small enough to hold comfortably in one hand.
When is the 80lb gloss half size a better fit than the 100lb gloss half size or the 60lb offset half size?
Pick 80lb gloss half size when you want glossy color pages but don't need the heavier sheet of the 100lb gloss half-size booklet. Choose the 60lb offset half size instead if readers need to write on the pages, since offset is uncoated, or if you want black-only (1/1) printing.
Why is this booklet listed as 8.5×5.5, and how do the binding options change it?
The catalog lists the dimensions as 8.5×5.5; the finished booklet is 5.5×8.5. Choose Long Edge / Portrait for a standard upright booklet, or Short Edge / Landscape for one that opens wide. Pages are saddle-stitched, so page counts run in multiples of 4, from 8 to 64 pages.
How many 80lb gloss half-size booklets can I order?
You can order from 25 to 25,000 copies. Small runs work for a single event or a test version of a guide, while larger runs cover ongoing distribution. Along with quantity, you choose the page count, self cover or 14pt cover, and the binding direction.
