Magazine printing works best when the paper, print and finish all pull in the same direction, and that’s exactly what you control here.
Choose A4 or A5, or enter a custom size if your title needs something different, in portrait or landscape. Print in full colour for photography and rich layouts, match brand colours exactly with Pantone, or keep costs down with black only.
Paper changes how a magazine reads and feels, so pick the stock that fits your content:
Lamination protects your covers and sets the tone before a single page is turned. Matt, gloss and silk are the classic choices, soft touch adds a velvety texture readers notice straight away, and anti-scuff keeps dark covers free of marks in transit. For premium issues, add spot UV to lift a masthead or cover image, or foiling for a metallic finish that catches the light.
Standard turnaround covers most schedules. If you’re up against a deadline, choose express 5 day or express 3 day and we’ll print and dispatch your magazines in as little as three working days.
Order your magazine printing today and have finished copies in hand in as little as three working days. Get an instant quote online, or call the team if you’d like advice on paper and finishes first.

Better Printing offers A5 (148mm by 210mm) and A4 (210mm by 297mm) magazine sizes as standard. Please note that these measurements refer to the size of the magazine when closed.
Custom magazine sizes are also available; so if you have a different size in mind, call us on 023 8087 8037 to discuss our bespoke options.
Our standard magazines are bound together via saddle-stitching. This method assembles brochure pages by first nesting several folded double-leaf spreads on top of each other (starting with the middlemost pages and finishing with the outer cover leaf).
The brochure pages are then stitched together by threading lengths of metal wire (similar to staples) through all pages along the central crease line.
Better Printing can also print your magazine content in other binding formats if required, including perfect binding – simply get in touch to discuss your project requirements.
You can view our page count options in the table below. Each paper sheet (or ‘leaf’) of your brochure will have two printed pages (pp); one on each side of the paper. Magazine covers consist of four pages, and are included in addition to the page counts listed in the table below.
Looking for a different page count to the options listed here? Simply call us on 023 8087 8037 to discuss your own bespoke specifications.
The right print method will depend on a number of factors; including the product type, quantity and turnaround time you require.
Better Printing can produce your order on either litho or digital, with both available in-house. Our sales team can recommend the most cost-effective solution for your needs and will confirm your preferred method before going to print.
Please see the Specification tab for more information on this product’s standard material specification. Alternative stocks and grades can be supplied for most products to help you customise your order – simply get in touch to discuss your print requirements.
All magazines are printed in portrait orientation (with the spine located on the longer edge of the booklet) by default.
If you’re looking to set your magazines apart from the rest, you might like to print them in landscape format – this can be specified at the checkout stage if you need it.
We recommend supplying artwork as single pages in the same order as you want them to appear in the finished programme. Please avoid supplying your artwork in printer’s pairs or double page spreads, as this may extend production times of your print order.
Should you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us or call on 023 8087 8037.
