Written by Tradeprint Blog | Nov 12, 2025 12:33:45 PM

When you want to showcase your work in a professional format, a booklet or brochure  is the perfect place to start. It allows you to experience your design, paper choice and finish before committing to a full print run.

Why order a sample booklet or brochure?

Ordering a single sample gives you confidence in print quality, layout, paper stock and binding. It’s an affordable way to check your design before large-scale production.

Popular booklet samples include:

  • Saddle-stitched books of 8-48 pages.  Full orders can be placed for 8-64 pages.
  • Hardback books of 40-400 pages
  • Wiro-bound books, often used for training manuals and for anything that needs to lie flat. 8-240 pages.
  • Perfect-bound book samples are available up to 140 pages. You can place a full order for works of up to 240 pages.  

Popular uses for these books include:

  • Marketing brochures and brand catalogues
  • Product guides and instruction manuals
  • Event programmes or show booklets
  • Portfolios and lookbooks
  • Small newsletters or community publications
  • Textbooks
  • Novels
  • Training manuals
  • Recipe books
  • Zines
  • Magazines and lifestyle publications

What to expect from your Tradeprint booklet sample

Your sample will be printed on your chosen size and paper stock, with optional lamination to protect and enhance the cover. Each booklet is printed to the same high standard as a full order, so you can assess colours, texture and overall presentation.

After receiving your sample, we are currently sending you a discount code to use when placing your full order. This makes testing your design both practical and cost-effective.

A professional finish starts with a booklet sample

From cover to cover, a samplebooklet brings your content together with simplicity and precision. Whether you are promoting your services or presenting creative work, a printed sample helps you refine every detail before sharing it with your audience.
