What is the difference between a Pamphlet and a Brochure?
‘Pamphlet’ is a term that was historically used for non-commercial publications concerning politics, religion or charity. ‘Brochure’ is a more modern term for an effective marketing tool used by a wide range of businesses.
Pamphlets also tend to be just a few pages long and aren’t bound. Brochures can have as many pages as you like and are usually sealed together.
How many pages can I include in my Brochure?
It depends on the type of Brochure you order. Each one can contain:
Stapled Brochures - between eight and 64 pages
Perfect Bound Brochures - between 20 and 254 pages

Please note: The number of pages in a Stapled Brochure must be divisible by four. The number of pages in a Perfect Bound Brochure or Wiro Bound Brochure must be divisible by two.
‘PP’ means ‘printed pages’, we use this when referring to your page numbers through your Brochure design. For example ‘64pp’ would be a 64-paged Booklet.
Why can I not have an odd number pp?
The number of pages in a Stapled Brochure must be divisible by four. The number of pages in a Perfect Bound Brochure or Wiro Bound Brochure must be divisible by two. Please make sure your Brochure design is within these requirements.
