Magazine Sizes, Page Counts and Artwork Setup

A magazine is a multi-page publication produced as a finished, bound document. When requesting a quote, describe the magazine by its finished size, total page count, binding method and quantity.

  • Finished size: State the final size after trimming and binding, such as A4, A5, square or a custom format.
  • Page count: Each printed side counts as one page. A double-sided sheet therefore creates two printed pages, commonly shown as 2pp.
  • Print-ready artwork: Supply a print-ready PDF at the correct finished size, with bleed, embedded fonts and images at 300 DPI at final size.
  • Page order: Supply pages as individual PDF pages in the correct reading order unless our team requests another setup.
  • Binding allowance: Perfect bound and wire bound publications may require additional artwork consideration near the spine.

For general manuals, office documents and tender packs, see Document Printing Sydney. For a single folded marketing sheet rather than a bound publication, see Brochure Printing Sydney.

What We Print

Our magazine printing service is suited to recurring and one-off multi-page publications, including:

  • Custom magazines: Editorial, business, community and branded publications.
  • Product catalogues: Multi-page product ranges, specifications, pricing and photography.
  • Zines: Short-run independent, artistic and community publications.
  • School magazines: Student work, school-year highlights and community content.
  • Membership publications: News, articles, events and updates for members.
  • Event programs: Speaker, performance, schedule and sponsor information.
  • Brand publications: Stories, interviews, case studies and campaign content.
  • Real estate and property magazines: Listings, developments, editorial content and market information.

If your project is better treated as a general booklet, premium lookbook, annual report or office document, see Booklet Printing Sydney, Lookbook Printing Sydney, Annual Report Printing Sydney or Document Printing Sydney.

Send us your size, page count, quantity and intended use if you are unsure which publication category fits your project.

Magazine Binding Options

The binding style affects how your magazine looks, opens, handles and lasts.

Saddle stitching is a popular option for smaller magazines and booklets. Pages are folded and stapled through the spine, creating a clean and cost-effective finish.

Perfect binding gives the magazine a square spine, making it suitable for thicker magazines, catalogues, lookbooks and premium publications.

Wire binding can be useful for manuals, reference documents and publications that need to lay flat when opened.

The best binding method depends on page count, paper stock, finished size, quantity and how the publication will be used.

Digital and Offset Magazine Printing

The best production method depends on your quantity, page count, binding, paper stock, deadline and budget.

  • Digital magazine printing: Well suited to short runs, proof copies, frequently updated content and publications needed within a shorter timeframe.
  • Offset magazine printing: Often more cost-effective for larger quantities when the specification and production schedule allow a longer lead time.
  • Urgent production: Same-day or next-day digital production may be available for suitable short-run magazines where scheduling permits. Binding and finishing requirements can affect turnaround.
  • Artwork deadlines: Turnaround begins after correct print-ready artwork, the final specification and production availability have been confirmed.
  • Pickup and delivery: Collect from Alexandria, arrange Sydney courier delivery or discuss delivery and mailing requirements for larger projects.

Tell us your required delivery or publication date before placing the order. We will recommend a practical production method and confirm whether the requested schedule is achievable.

What Do Our Clients Think?

What Affects Magazine Printing Cost?

Magazine printing costs depend on several key factors.

The biggest cost drivers are usually page count, quantity, finished size, paper stock, cover stock, binding method, colour requirements, finishing and delivery.

Short digital runs are useful when you only need a smaller number of copies. Larger offset runs may reduce the unit price when you have more time and a higher quantity.

Keeping the specification simple can also help control cost. Standard sizes, common paper stocks, clear artwork setup and practical binding choices are usually more efficient than unusual sizes, specialty stocks or complex finishing.

If you have a budget target, let us know early so we can recommend the most cost-effective print method and specification.

Benefits of Professional Magazine Printing

Professional magazine printing gives your content a polished, credible format that people can hold, browse, keep and share.

A printed magazine is ideal when you need more space than a flyer or brochure. It allows you to include product ranges, articles, imagery, advertising, editorial content, case studies, pricing, profiles and detailed information across multiple pages.

Magazines also create a stronger brand experience. The paper stock, cover finish, binding and print quality all contribute to how your publication feels in the reader’s hands.

For short runs, digital printing gives you flexibility to print smaller quantities, test content, update editions or produce event-specific publications. For larger runs, offset printing can provide a more cost-effective solution at scale.

Magazine printing can also be combined with mailing, fulfilment, poly bagging or distribution support, helping you manage the project from production through to delivery.

What to Consider Before Printing a Magazine

Before printing a magazine, start with the purpose of the publication. A product catalogue, school magazine, zine, lookbook, annual report and training publication may all need different paper stocks, binding styles and quantities.

Page count is important because it affects binding, weight and cost. Saddle stitching is often suitable for smaller publications, while perfect binding may be better for thicker magazines and catalogues.

Image quality matters. Magazines often rely on photography, artwork and product images, so supplied files should be high resolution and set up correctly for print.

Think about how the magazine will be used. A premium lookbook may need heavier stock and a more refined cover finish, while an event program or school magazine may need a practical, cost-effective specification.

If the magazine will be mailed or distributed, consider size, weight, packing, address requirements and delivery timing before production begins.

Digital Printing Vs Offset Printing

Please carefully consider whether you require Digital Printing or Offset Printing before making a decision as they are two different products with different pricing structures & Turnarounds/delivery times.

Digital Printing

Fast Print Digital printing is for printing small print runs with tight deadlines. We offer same day printing and 24 hour printing, however these are more expensive than our standard 2-3 day digital printing .

Offset Printing

Choose Offset Printing for printing Larger print runs or when you have more time for printing to be delivered. Offset Printing generally takes 5-Days including delivery.

Artwork Deadlines

All printing delivery times apply from receipt of correct artwork and confirmation of ability to meet deadline must be given. Fast printing turnarounds subject to availability and production schedule.

A surcharge applies to express same day printing and/or afterhours / weekend deliveries if required. Fast Print Services is not responsible for delays in transit. We are more than happy for you to arrange pick up or use your elected courier should your prefer.

Non-account clients must pay before the job is processed. Some jobs will require a 50% deposit before the job is processed and the final payment before your printing is dispatched.

Magazine Paper Stocks, Covers and Finishes

Paper, binding and finishing affect how a magazine looks, feels, opens and lasts. We can recommend options based on the publication’s purpose, page count, quantity and budget.

  • Inside paper stocks: Choose coated or uncoated paper based on the imagery, written content and desired feel.
  • Cover stocks: A heavier cover can add structure and help protect the inside pages.
  • Matte or gloss celloglaze: Add a protective laminated finish to the cover and change its visual and tactile appearance.
  • Spot UV: Highlight selected cover elements with a contrasting gloss finish.
  • Foiling: Add metallic or coloured foil to titles, logos or selected design details.
  • Embossing or debossing: Create a raised or recessed detail on suitable covers.
  • Die cutting: Add a custom-shaped cover, window or feature where the specification allows.
  • Scoring and folding: Help heavier cover stocks fold cleanly and reduce cracking.
  • Perforation: Create removable response forms, vouchers or reference pages where required.

Specialty finishing normally adds production time. Confirm the finish and deadline before artwork is finalised.
