Pages vs. Sheets
A single sheet of paper has 2 sides, a front and a back side. A sheet folded in half gives you 4 numbered pages.
Counting Pages
To determine the number of pages, count every sheet side (each sheet has 2 sides) and all blank pages.
Your page count must be divisible by 2 for coil and perfect bound books and by 4 for saddle stitch products. If you file is not divisible by the appropriate number, blank pages will be added. We encourage you to add the blank(s) to your file to ensure placement is to your liking.
