Every image in this 16-page booklet is blurry! How did they think this was acceptable to print? They packaged each booklet nicely, but these are completely UNUSABLE!
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are sorry to hear about the disappointing print quality of your stapled booklets. While we are glad to know the booklets were well packaged, we understand how frustrating it must be to receive items that you consider unusable due to blurry images. We checked the order details and noted that the submitted logos and images were very low-resolution, which directly affects the sharpness of the final print. For the best results, we strongly recommend using high-resolution files of at least 300 dpi, and carefully reviewing both the preview mode and PDF proof prior to placing an order to ensure everything appears crisp and correctly positioned. Furthermore, we have taken the necessary steps to make amends and have shared more information with you via email. If you'd like support improving your artwork for future orders, we also offer a professional design service. Our graphic design team can enhance your files and prepare them for optimal printing. You can submit your request here: https://www.vistaprint.co.uk/design A revised version will be sent to you within 24–48 hours, and you’ll be able to request adjustments before approving the final design. Once approved, you can place your new order with confidence. We trust you'll find this helpful. Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please don't hesitate to call us at 0800 028 6962.

Frequently asked questions

Yes — for a successful print, we recommend following these design tips and upload specifications.

Format: Your file needs to be in PDF format — without password protection.

Layout: Your file should include single pages, each arranged in the correct reading order. Make sure your file includes all of your pages — including four cover pages.

Blank Pages: If you want blank inside cover pages, make sure you include blank pages within your PDF file.

Colours: Stapled booklets are printed in CMYK. Images provided in RGB or PANTONE colours will be converted.

Resolution: 300 dpi (dots per inch) is the required resolution for stapled booklets. Lower resolutions may affect the printing quality.

Bleeds: For an accurate print, include a 3 mm bleed on every side of every page. If you encounter file upload issues, double-check your bleed — it may exceed the accepted ±0.25 threshold.

Margins: Keep all text at least 1 cm from the margins. Anything closer may be too close to the edge (or the binding) to easily read.

For detailed information on how to design your custom booklets, download our PDF guide.

Staple binding is a style that uses 2 metal staples to turn individual pieces of paper into a cohesive booklet. Since the staples are placed down the centre of the papers, each piece of paper becomes 4 booklet pages.

Stapled booklets are a popular choice for an assortment of projects or business needs — we particularly recommend them for price lists, product catalogues, event programmes, brochures, pamphlets and magazines. They may also work well for restaurants or cafes in need of longer, more detailed menus.

Your stapled booklets can include 8–84 pages — this includes 4 cover pages (front cover, inside front cover, back cover and inside back cover). For example, an 8-page booklet = 4 cover pages + 4 inside pages. You can increase or decrease a stapled booklet’s page count in increments of 4: 12 pages, 16 pages, 20 pages, etc.

No, you’re not required to — you’ll just need to include blank pages in your print-ready PDF. But if you’d like to utilise all the space and add content to all 4 cover pages, you’re welcome to do that, too.

The cover paper for your stapled booklets will be laminated — they help protect booklets from wear and are a great way to show off your cover design. Our laminated covers are available in matte or glossy. You can select the same cover thickness as your internal pages, or go with a 300 gsm option for sturdier covers.

Sample booklets are not available, but you can order a single booklet. This is a great way to see how your printed booklet looks before you order a larger amount.

Our tailored design premium review is an optional, paid service where a professional designer thoroughly checks your file to help ensure your booklet prints correctly. For an extra cost, we look for common issues that can affect print quality, including:

  • Margins & bleed: Ensuring no critical text is too close to the edge and that bleeds are set up correctly.
  • Image quality: Checking that images are sharp, high resolution, and not too dark for printing.
  • Text legibility: Confirming all fonts are clear and easy to read.
  • Overall layout: A general check to ensure your design and content look their best.

If we spot minor issues, our designer will fix them for you. For any major changes, we'll contact you for approval before proceeding.

Our comprehensive designer-led review is typically completed within 1 business day, but can take up to 10 business days for more complex projects (e.g. those with high page counts). Please note, this service is only available with our 10-day economy production.

It depends on the nature of the issue:

  • For minor tweaks that are clearly needed for a successful print (like adjusting a margin), our designer will make the change for you.
  • If we find a major issue that significantly alters your design (like a low-quality key image), we will pause the process and contact you directly to discuss the options and get your approval before making any changes.
