DETERMINING YOUR PAGE COUNT

The first page of your catalog is the outside front page, and begin numbering each individual page from there. The last page is the very back page. For example: If you have (4) sheets of 8.5" x 11" when flat, and then you fold those sheets to 8.5" x 5.5", you have a 16 page Catalog after saddle stitching this book.

If you are adding a 12 pt. cover to your catalog as an "Add On," those pages printed on 12 pt. cover are not included in the page count when determining your final number of pages for pricing; the cover is separate from page counts used for the inside pages that are Saddle Stitched into that 12 pt. cover.
