Self-Cover Booklets
Streamlined, Lightweight, and Cost-Effective Booklets

Professional multi-page printing where the cover matches the inside pages.

Looking for a professional way to present your documents without the bulk or cost of a heavy cover? Our Self Cover Booklets use the same paper stock for the entire publication, offering a sleek, flexible, and uniform finish. Perfect for mail-outs, newsletters, and high-volume handouts.

What is a “Self-Cover” Booklet?

Unlike traditional booklets that feature a thicker cardstock cover (known as “Plus Cover”), a Self-Cover Booklet is printed using the same paper weight for both the internal pages and the cover.

For example, if your inside pages are 150gsm Silk, your cover will also be 150gsm Silk. This creates a publication that is:

  • Lighter: Ideal for reducing postage costs.
  • Flexible: Easier to fold and pack.
  • Cost-Efficient: More affordable to produce in bulk.

Why Choose Self Cover?

At All Print Solutions, we recommend Self Cover booklets for businesses and organizations looking to maximize their budget without sacrificing print quality.

  • Budget Friendly: By using a single paper stock, you reduce material costs, making this the perfect choice for high-volume print runs.
  • Mailing Savings: Being lightweight makes them excellent for direct mail campaigns, helping you stay under strict weight brackets.
  • Seamless Design: The uniform texture and weight from the first page to the last provide a sophisticated, magazine-style feel.

Ideal Uses for Self-Cover Booklets

Because of their flexibility and lower cost, these booklets are versatile. Our clients typically use them for:

  • Company Newsletters & Magazines: Keep stakeholders informed with a professional sleek layout.
  • Product Catalogues: showcase seasonal ranges without the bulk.
  • Event Programs: Easy-to-hold guides for conferences, festivals, or concerts.
  • Instruction Manuals: Technical guides that fit easily into product packaging.
  • Price Lists: Lightweight documents that are easy to distribute to customers.

Self Cover Booklets Printing FAQs

Common questions for custom Self Cover Booklets

Self cover means the cover paper is the same thickness as the inner pages (e.g., all 150gsm). Hard cover (or heavy cover) means the cover is thicker (e.g., 300gsm) than the inner pages.
We recommend 150gsm Silk or Gloss. It is thick enough to minimalize “show-through” (seeing the print on the other side) but light enough to remain flexible.
Yes! We can provide a hard-copy proof so you can check the paper feel and colour accuracy. Contact us to arrange this.
