Common Lookbook Sizes

The cover and dust jacket of a hardcover book play a crucial role in creating a lasting first impression. At Gamayprinting, we offer a variety of cover options to suit your preferences and design requirements. As well as provide samples for your reference, so that you can make the right material choice.

Custom Look Book Paper options

While most lookbooks contain both images and text, the trend in contemporary design is toward more photography and less text. In most cases, you’ll need to pick paper that gives sharp photo reproduction and clear text. We recommend gloss or matte text paper for vibrant, faithful color, perfect contrast, and fine detail. If you want your lookbook to reflect eco-friendliness and a natural aesthetic, you can opt for uncoated paper.

Bindings for Lookbooks

While we’ll make your lookbook in any shape and size you like, the choice of binding matters, too, for reasons of appearance and durability alike. Let’s look at the most common, professional-looking options. You can open all the following bindings flat. 

Perfect bound 

We use this binding style for many catalogs. We collate the interior pages into a block, glued together, and then glued into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. For catalogs with a page count ranging from 48 to 200 pages, this is a great option.

Sewn perfect bound

We use this binding style for most catalogs we print. We collate the interior pages into sets called “signatures”, which are then sewn together and fixed into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. For catalogs with a higher page count, this is one of the best options.

Loop stitch binding

Another great choice for reps is a loop bound catalog. It’s similar to a saddle stitch solution but includes two or three loops exterior to the spine so it can be hung up or easily inserted into a ring binder.

Sewn hardcover

In this binding, we organize the interior pages into signatures which are then printed, cut, and sewn, before we glue them into a hard casing covered by a printed sheet which forms the cover. This binding is the most durable and luxury-looking, but we make only a few hardcover catalogs for our most exclusive clients.

Saddle-stitching

To saddle stitch your catalog, we fold the printed interior sheets and stack them inside the cover sheet before stapling them together down the curved edge. Saddle stitch is only possible with a page count divisible by four, up to a maximum of 64 pages. But to make sure the catalog is neat and lies flat, we recommend a limit of 48 pages or fewer for this style of binding.

Wire-O  binding

This binding is another possibility for catalogs, especially useful to sales representatives for its portability, practicality and flexibility. We punch or drill holes into the pages down one side and then bind them with a double metallic coil which runs through the holes. We crimp the coil at both ends so the pages don’t come loose. You can turn the pages of a wire-o bound book through 360° and also lay the open catalog completely flat.

Whichever binding style you choose, we like to make it easy for you to design your lookbook. So, you can use one of our ready-made design templates if you like. And please ask us for paper samples. We’ll be happy to send them to you in the mail. The samples are free, so you need only pay the mailing charges.

A lookbook is a visually stunning publication that showcases a collection of products, services, or visual concepts in a cohesive and aesthetically pleasing manner. It serves as a powerful marketing tool for businesses across various industries, including fashion, lifestyle, photography, and design.

While both product catalogs and lookbooks showcase products, they serve different purposes. A product catalog is a comprehensive listing of all available products, often with detailed specifications and pricing information. A lookbook is a more curated and visually-driven presentation that focuses on showcasing a specific collection or concept in an artistic and inspiring manner.

Lookbooks are widely used in various industries, including:

  • Fashion and apparel

  • Lifestyle and home decor

  • Photography and art

  • Product design and manufacturing

  • Advertising and marketing agencies

Any industry that relies on visually compelling presentations to showcase their products, services, or creative work can benefit from a well-designed lookbook.

The cost of lookbook printing can vary depending on several factors, such as the number of pages, paper stock, binding method, and print quantity. At GamayPrinting, we offer competitive pricing and can provide you with a detailed quote based on your specific requirements.

While there is no definitive standard size for lookbook printing, some of the most common sizes are 8.5 x 11 inches, 5.5 x 8.5 inches. However, we also offer custom sizing options to accommodate your specific needs and creative vision.
