Paperturn

Paperturn publishes flipbooks across corporate online brochures, digital reports, online user guides, school brochures, invitations, pamphlets and sports team brochures, with enterprise document management provision.

The document type list is more informative than a feature list, because it shows who actually buys this and why.

School brochures and prospectuses are the case worth explaining. A school produces a prospectus annually, it is the primary marketing document for admissions, it is expensive to print, and the audience, parents choosing a school, will read it on a phone in the evening. A printed run that sits in a reception area reaches a fraction of them.

A flipbook version costs nothing per additional reader, can be updated when a detail changes, and produces data about which sections parents actually read, which no printed prospectus has ever provided.

Online user guides serve a different need entirely. A manual delivered as a PDF is downloaded, saved somewhere and consulted from a stale local copy after the product has changed. A hosted flipbook is always the current version, which matters when the guidance concerns safety or compliance.

Digital reports address annual reporting, where organisations produce a substantial document once a year for stakeholders who will not print it, and where presentation carries some of the message.

The enterprise document management provision suggests the product scales beyond one-off publishing to organisations maintaining many documents, which is where version control becomes the real requirement.

Pricing is published from $24 per month on a yearly plan, with $39 published alongside for a Starter tier.
