Booklet page-count & binding planner

Rounds your page count to a printable multiple of four, recommends saddle stitch vs perfect binding for your paper, and gives the spine thickness and creep so your layout is right first time.

Booklet page-count & binding planner
Print as
32 pages
30 rounds up to a multiple of 4 — add 2 blank or "notes" pages
Sheets
8
folded sheets (4 pages each)
Recommended binding
Saddle stitch
Up to about 92 pages on this stock before creep and bulk at the spine become a problem.
Spine thickness
0.072"
creep: negligible

Supply pages as single pages in reading order (not printer spreads). Saddle-stitched books need a page count divisible by 4; perfect-bound books only need an even count, but 4-up saves money. Cover files: for perfect binding, use the spine width above in a single wrap-around cover spread.
