• Basic sizes of pad printing services: With pad printing, since they are either given away as promotional pieces, or used with great frequency, economy is the order of the day. Therefore, more so than any other type of print job, size does matter. With short runs, the ideal is to get as many sheets out of a basic letter size page (8.5 x 11"). Therefore when you use a 4.25 wide x 5.5" high finished size, you will be able to get four sheets of paper from a letter size sheet. If you require your pad to utilize a 4 x 6" page size, then your pad page yield will be two out if they print in the same direction, or 3 out of the letter size sheet if you right angle one sheet under the first two. It is also a good idea to avoid bleeds, where the ink goes to the edge of the page. This is because a gutter is required between images for the background to bleed into it and trimmed off during bindery for that clean pad edge. The bleed on the pad not only requires a larger parent sheet of paper, but has many more cuts (and cost to you) then a traditional "chop cut" pad.
• Bindery styles: The basic bindery style is to glue the shorter edge, usually at the top, while adding a chip board backer for ease of use. Other bindery styles in can include spiral or wire-o binds. This type of bindery can also feature a front and back cover as a "steno book ". There is also the wrap around cover and this is usually referred to as "booked". The cover starts at one edge, overlapping maybe 1/2 inch and is stapled and then wraps around and under the back side and then up again and over, with the final part of this one piece cover overlapping the stapled portion of the pad. You can also request custom pad printing pages which you can insert into your ring bind journal or date book. There is no limit to your options in pad printing services, as mentioned above, it is all ink on paper with the rest simply being bindery types.
