For longer turnaround jobs (2–3 working days), we also offer thicker cover options such as 350gsm or 400gsm, which can be laminated or foiled for a more premium and durable feel.

Booklets can be printed on a wide range of paper types including silk, matte, gloss, uncoated, recycled, and more. For our same day booklet printing service in London, we commonly use silk paper, which sits perfectly between gloss and matte—making it a versatile choice for most booklet projects. It offers great colour reproduction without being too shiny or too flat.
For longer turnaround times (4–5 working days), we offer a wider selection of premium paper options. Below is a guide to different types of booklet paper and their suitable uses:
| Paper Type | Description | Best For |
| Silk Coated | Smooth finish with a soft sheen; not too glossy | Inner pages, general booklets |
| Gloss Coated | Shiny and reflective, enhances colour vibrancy | Image-heavy booklets, lookbooks |
| Matte Coated | Flat and smooth surface, no shine | Corporate booklets, readable text-heavy pages |
| Uncoated | Natural, slightly rough surface without coating | Manuals, workbooks, eco-friendly designs |
| Recycled Paper | Environmentally friendly, made from recycled fibres | Sustainable projects, charity brochures |

| Laminated Card | Card stock sealed with a thin plastic layer (matte or gloss lamination) | Durable and professional covers |
| Textured Card | Specialty finishes like linen or laid texture | Boutique or luxury booklets |
These paper types can elevate your booklet’s presentation depending on your brand and message. Whether you’re printing an annual report, catalogue, event guide, or a promotional booklet—we’ve got the right stock for the job.
