File Specifications For CD Booklets.
Page Count
The total page count must be divisible by 4, such as 4, 8, or 12 pages, including the covers. Blank pages may be added during upload if needed to meet this requirement.
Page Setup
Prepare your document as single pages only, in reading order:
- Page 1 = Front Cover
- Page 2 = Inside Front Cover
- Pages 3–n = Content Pages
- 2nd Last Page: Inside Back Cover
- Last Page: Back Cover
Explore Bleed, Trim & Safety Areas
Please ensure your file has the following dimensions:
- Trim size 4.75” x 4.75”: The product currently selected in the configurator above on this page will be delivered in these dimensions.
- Bleed size 4.95” x 4.95”: Include + 1/10” on all four sides. This is the bleed that will be trimmed. Extend background images and graphics beyond this area.
- Safe Zone: Keep all text and key elements at least 1/12” from the trim edge to prevent being trimmed.
RGB vs CMYK
Use CMYK only. Files in RGB or with spot colors will be automatically converted, which may cause colors to appear different from the original file.
Consider the following:
- The total ink coverage (C+M+Y+K) must not exceed 300% to ensure proper drying and prevent pages from sticking
- For black or gray text, use only the K channel
- For a rich black, use 40C / 0M / 0Y / 100K or 60/40/40/100
Avoid Low-Quality Images
Image resolution must be at least 150 dpi, with 300 dpi recommended for sharp, high-quality print results. Avoid using low-resolution or pixelated images.
Fonts
Use PostScript fonts for offset printing. If your file contains TrueType fonts, convert them to outlines, paths, or curves to prevent font rendering issues.
How to Save Your File Correctly
Export your artwork as PDF/X-3 to achieve accurate colors and reliable print results. You may also send us JPEG or TIFF files. If you use Adobe Photoshop, always save your artwork as JPEG or TIFF.
If you need a Photoshop PDF, create it with Acrobat Distiller using our Acrobat JobOptions, which you can download further down this page.
Also, do not save a PDF directly from Photoshop.

Most Common FAQs We Get Around CD Booklets.
What are the available page counts for custom CD booklets?
Our custom CD booklets are saddle-stitched from 8 to 60 pages, in increments of four (inside pages plus a four-page cover). This range fits comfortably inside a standard jewel case.
If you need more pages, see our perfect-bound options with up to 320 pages, or contact our team for a custom quote.
How are the CD booklets bound and assembled?
CD booklets are saddle-stitched, meaning folded sheets are nested and secured with staples along the spine. Because of this method, total pages are always assembled in multiples of four.
Perfect binding is also available for higher page counts that exceed what stapling can accommodate.
What is the final folded size of the CD booklet?
The finished, folded booklet measures 4.75" x 4.75", matching the exact dimensions of a standard CD jewel case. This ensures every booklet sits neatly inside the case without trimming, ready for professional packaging alongside your disc and any accompanying inserts.
What paper weight is used for the cover versus the inner pages?
Inner pages use coated text stock from 80 lb to 120 lb, or a 120 lb uncoated offset. Covers are typically heavier, with options ranging from 100–120 lb text up to durable 12 pt–18 pt card stock, giving the booklet a sturdier outer feel.
How should I format and arrange my pages when submitting artwork?
Please supply artwork as a print-ready PDF with pages in sequential reading order, including the cover. Keep page totals in multiples of four, and add blank pages where you'd like spaces left empty. Maintain a 0.1" bleed on all edges, including the bound inside edge.
How do you handle "creep" in thicker (16+ page) booklets?
Creep occurs when nested pages shift outward slightly toward the spine in thicker booklets. We recommend keeping essential text and images within the safe margin so nothing is clipped. Supplying single, sequential pages also lets our prepress team impose your file correctly during production.
Do you offer templates specifically for multi-page layouts?
Yes. We provide free downloadable templates suited to multi-page layouts, with correct bleed and margin settings built in. For booklets with several pages, we recommend designing in layout software such as InDesign, which manages pagination and bleed accurately across your entire document.
What is the minimum print run for custom CD booklets?
Custom CD booklets (stapled) have a minimum order quantity of 50 units and can be ordered in quantities up to 50,000. The product configurator will display the available quantity options for your selected booklet.
Are these booklets suitable for corporate software or technology discs?
Absolutely. CD booklets are well-suited to corporate, software, and technology discs, providing space for installation guides, licensing details, quick-start instructions, or product documentation. They add a polished, branded layer to your packaging that's ideal for client distribution, onboarding kits, and professional presentations.
How does page count impact production and turnaround time?
Higher page counts involve more printing, folding, and binding, which can extend production compared with smaller booklets. Your chosen quantity and production tier also play a role. The configurator calculates an estimated delivery date for your exact specification, so timing is clear before checkout.
Can you handle split shipping or freight delivery for high-volume booklet orders?
For high-volume booklet orders, we can support larger logistics needs through our dropshipping and fulfillment service. For split shipments to multiple locations or palletized freight delivery, we recommend contacting our team directly so we can arrange the most suitable option for your order.
