Booklet printing in Doha: company profiles, manuals and reports

A printed booklet is still one of the best ways to present your company, a course or an event. You can hand it over in a meeting, leave it at reception, or give one to every visitor at an exhibition. Here is how to plan a booklet that looks professional.

What can you print as a booklet?

• Company profiles for tenders, clients and partners.
• Product catalogues and price lists for shops and suppliers.
• Training manuals and staff handbooks.
• School booklets such as yearbooks, prospectuses and project reports.
• Event programmes for conferences, weddings and graduations.

Choose the size

A4 is the most common size for company profiles and reports, because it holds a lot of text and pictures. A5 is smaller and handier for programmes and small catalogues. If you are not sure, print one test copy first and hold it in your hand.

Pages: think in fours

A booklet stapled in the middle is made from sheets folded in half, so each sheet gives four pages. That means the page count should be a multiple of 4, for example 8, 12, 16 or 24 pages, counting the cover. If your file has 14 pages, add 2 more, such as a contents page or a notes page.

Binding options

Stapled in the middle is neat and flat, and suits thinner booklets. Comb or wire binding lets the booklet open flat on a desk, which is perfect for manuals and training files. Ask our printing team which binding fits your page count. If you want to bind small numbers yourself in the office, read our guide on comb or wire binding machines.

Paper and cover

A thicker cover makes the booklet feel solid and protects the inside pages. Inside pages are usually lighter, so the booklet is easy to open and turn. A gloss finish makes photos bright, while a matt finish looks calm and is easy to read. Our team will suggest a paper that fits your use and your budget.

Prepare your file

1. Send a PDF with all fonts and images included.
2. Use good quality photos. Pictures saved from WhatsApp or websites often print blurry.
3. Keep text away from the edges so nothing gets cut off.
4. Check spelling twice, in English and in Arabic, before you approve the proof.
5. Tell us the language. Arabic booklets open from the right, so say if your booklet is Arabic, English or both.

Go further with your brand

Hand out your booklet with matching business cards, and a flyer or brochure for people who want a quick read. For year-end gifts, add notebooks with your logo.
