Square Booklet Printing
Square booklets stand out from the stack. The balanced shape gives photos, artwork and product shots room to breathe, and we print them in six sizes from a 4 × 4 mini book to a 12 × 12 album.
Square sizes we print
Every square booklet is saddle stitched with 8 to 96 pages. Each size below is drawn to scale next to a dashed 8.5 × 11 letter sheet, so you can see how it compares.
- 4 × 4 Mini books and gift inserts
- 5 × 5 Favors and keepsakes
- 6 × 6 Photo books and invitations
- 8.5 × 8.5 Our most popular square
- 9 × 9 Lookbooks and art books
- 12 × 12 Big photo books
Want a heavier feel? Most square sizes also come as an all-cardstock booklet, with every page printed on cover stock.
Why choose a square booklet?
Made for images
Square pages suit photos, illustrations and full-bleed artwork without awkward cropping.
Stands out
A square format looks different from everyday letter-size handouts, so people pick it up.
Clean spreads
Open flat, a square booklet makes a wide 2:1 spread that is great for panoramas and side-by-side layouts.
Room to grow
From an 8-page mini book to a 96-page portfolio, choose the page count your content needs.

Setting up a square file
Design each page at the finished size, for example 8.5 × 8.5 in, and extend backgrounds 0.125 in past every edge for bleed. Keep text and logos away from the edges so nothing gets trimmed. A square booklet opens flat to twice the width, so an 8.5 × 8.5 booklet opens to 17 × 8.5 in.
Page counts go up in 4s. Each folded sheet makes 4 pages, so choose 8, 12, 16 and so on up to 96. Booklets with 40 or more pages get a square-back spine at no extra cost.
