Gloss booklets feature a bright, reflective coated surface that enhances color saturation, sharpens image detail, and gives your printed piece a polished, professional appearance. The gloss coating - typically an AQ (aqueous) finish applied inline after printing - makes photographs pop, bold colors appear richer, and the overall piece feel premium in the reader's hand.
Available with saddle-stitch, perfect binding, or wire-o binding, gloss booklets are the preferred format for marketing materials, product lookbooks, trade show handouts, and any publication where strong visual impact is the priority.

The gloss coating increases ink saturation and contrast, producing colors that are deeper, richer, and more impactful than on uncoated or matte stock.
Images appear crisp, detailed, and vibrant on gloss. It is the ideal substrate for booklets featuring product photography, lifestyle shots, or bold graphics.
The coated surface resists fingerprints and normal wear, keeping your booklets looking pristine through trade shows, mailings, and extended distribution.
Gloss booklets are available in three binding styles. The right choice depends on your page count and how the booklet will be used.
Folded and stapled along the spine. Best for 8-64 pages. Most economical option - lays flat, fast production, clean professional finish.
Square spine with durable adhesive. Best for 30-400 pages. Provides a book-like appearance with a printable spine for shelf display.
Metal coil for a 360-degree lay-flat experience. Great for presentations, workbooks, and reference materials used on a desk or table.
