Playbill printing is deadline work: the cast list changes, the sponsor page lands late, and the show still opens Friday. Our playbills are saddle-stitched booklets — folded sheets nested and stapled through the spine — in the classic 5.5 × 8.5" handbill size or larger. Run full color for headshots and production photography, or 1-color black and white to keep a community-theater budget intact.
Three trim sizes — 5.5 × 8.5", 6 × 9", and 8.5 × 11" — with 5.5 × 8.5" the traditional playbill format that fits a hand and a jacket pocket. Page counts run from 8 to 48 in multiples of 4, and quantities from 50 to 10,000 cover everything from a weekend run to a full season. Every order includes a free file review — which matters when the program was finished the night before.
Paper weight is the number to watch: higher means thicker and stiffer. 60# text is light and economical, 100# text feels substantial, and cover stocks reach a rigid 130#.
