Brochure Printing vs Booklet Printing
Every business will need a brochure AND a booklet at some point. These are extremely effective marketing tools that are used to spread the word about a product, business, or event. At PrintingCenterUSA, we help businesses every single day decide what is the appropriate choice for their business: A Brochure or a Booklet.
You might be wondering to yourself, what’s the difference between a brochure vs a booklet? While brochures and booklets are very similar and are used interchangeably depending on where you are from, it is important to understand the distinction before ordering your next brochure printing or custom booklet printing project on PrintingCenterUSA’s website.

Brochure Booklets
If your brochure has too much information to fit on a single sheet of paper, then you may want to consider a brochure booklet. A brochure booklet is a saddle stitched book that is used as marketing materials for organizations. A lot of our customers opt to order a brochure booklet instead of a brochure, because they believe their brochure has become too crammed and difficult to read. Give yourself some space if you need it! Just keep in mind that a brochure booklet will require a minimum of 8 pages (including the front cover, back front cover, individual inside pages, inside back cover, and back cover).
