A5 multi-page programme booklet – event booklet with 8–32 pages
The multi-page A5 programme booklet is a saddle-stitched booklet with 8–32 pages – an elegant and easy-to-read solution when your event has more content than fits in a 4-page programme leaflet.
The booklet format provides plenty of space for content: programme items, performer profiles, composer backgrounds, scene lists, libretto excerpts, sponsors and partner advertisements. The page count is always a multiple of four (8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 or 32 pages) – just right for your event's content.
The multi-page programme booklet works particularly well for concerts, operas, ballet, theatre performances, festivals, galas, seminars, religious services and association events – any occasion where attendees benefit from a comprehensive guide throughout the event. Consistent print quality and premium paper communicate the organiser's attention to detail and add gravitas to your event.
Order easily from our online store – printed locally in Helsinki using plant-based eco-friendly inks on FSC/PEFC-certified paper. Fast delivery throughout Finland, with 24-hour delivery available for urgent orders with print-ready files.

Frequently asked questions
How quickly can I receive my programmes?
Standard delivery time is 2–4 working days. For urgent orders, 24-hour or even same-day delivery is possible depending on artwork readiness.
How many pages can the programme have?
The page count must always be a multiple of four: 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28 or 32 pages. This is because the pages fold onto both sides of each sheet. If you need more than 32 pages, please contact us – we can tailor the order to your needs.
Can I mix and match cover and inside-page papers?
Yes. The cover is typically heavier paper (170 g / 160 g) and the inside pages are lighter (100–130 g). You can combine them to match your event's look – a sturdy cover protects the inside pages throughout the event.
Can the programme booklet include sponsor advertisements?
Yes. A multi-page programme booklet is an excellent place for sponsor logos and advertisement pages – you can collect both the programme and your partners in one booklet. Sponsor pages can be placed on the back cover, inside pages or as their own spreads.
What is the minimum and maximum print run?
Our digital press also works well for small runs – typical print runs are 50–500 copies depending on the size of your event. For larger runs, please contact us.
Is the printing environmentally friendly?
Yes. We print programme booklets using plant-based eco-friendly inks – these modern toners are made from renewable raw materials instead of mineral oil. In addition, all the papers we use are FSC or PEFC certified, meaning they are made from responsibly managed forests. We also offer 100% recycled paper for both the cover and inside pages.
Is recycled paper an option?
Yes. 100% recycled paper is available for both the cover (160 g matte) and the inside pages (120 g matte). You can choose a programme booklet made entirely from recycled paper, where the natural off-white tone gives a warm, distinctive feel.
