We produce stapled brochures and booklets in the form of a book bound with two metal staples, ensuring a neat appearance and comfortable handling. To ensure professional printing and production processes, it is important to prepare the layout correctly.

- The cover can be included in the main file or submitted separately: PDF / PNG / JPG (we recommend PNG or TIFF).
- All pages must be compiled into a single file in the correct sequence.

There are clear technical restrictions for stapled brochures:
- Number of pages — must be even; a multiple of 4 is recommended (due to binding requirements).
- Maximum page count — up to 80 pages; optimal page count for a neat appearance — up to 64 pages.
- If the page count does not meet the requirements, add blank pages at the end of the layout. - Brochure and Booklet Formats
