Half-Size Booklet Printing (5.5×8.5)

Printkeg’s half-size 5.5×8.5 booklets are folded and saddle-stitched (stapled), making them ideal for compact publications designed to be held, handed out, or read in one sitting. This size is especially popular for programs, playbills, and short-run printed materials where portability matters.

Choose from gloss or matte paper finishes depending on your project’s tone. Our professional printing process delivers crisp text, consistent color, and clean folds—whether you’re printing a single copy or preparing materials for a live event.

We recommend ordering a physical sample to review paper feel, color accuracy, and overall print quality before committing to a full run.

  • Glossy Paper

    We utilize glossy paper (80# text) that folds nicely and exudes rich colors. Customers choose this paper for booklets more than any other.

  • Matte Paper

    The matte paper (70# text) feels heavy, more opaque, and you can write on it. Some clients believe the creamier finish of flat booklets emits a higher-end product.

  • Upgraded Covers

    Upgrade your cover to a thin card stock giving your booklets or comic books a longer shelf life and a more lavish feel.
