We do large orders of coil bound booklets with plastic covers and 28lb pages.  They are used as workbooks and incident logs.  The paper is easy to write on.  The pages, turned 360 degrees around the coil, make a good writing surface that takes up little space.

For maximum impact, customers have ordered printed covers and 100lb matte pages for coil binding.  These booklets, with their heavier paper, had a very classy look and feel consistent with the clean. professional branding of the company.

Please upload one multiple page pdf file.  If your layout includes print extending to the edge of the page, a .125″ bleed is required for the entire document.

Booklets really need to be formatted for the correct page size as a letter sized page does not scale well to half letter.

The proportions for letter size (8.5″ x 11″) and half letter size are not the same.  If you order half letter booklets and submit letter sized pdf files, your pages will have white space at the top and bottom of each page.  In addition, any bleed will be lost, so pages will have whitespace around the edges.

Please let us know in the instructions if you want to have that space trimmed off.  Your finished booklets will be approximately 5.5″ x 7.5″.

More importantly, the size of your fonts will be very small.  

In order to get a normal font size and layout for your half letter booklet, change the page size in your word processing software and save the layout in the correct size.  Here is how to resize a document in Microsoft Word.
