The Australian mix 6 and mix 12 cardboard packs come with a printed black and white A5 saddle stitched (stapled) booklet.
These need to be printed as part of the preparation of mix pack packing and is to go to the warehouse with the picking template sheet. This limits the possibility of the packs not having the required booklets by being forgotten at the end of the process.

Before printing make sure of the following:
- the beers in the booklet match the beers on the template picking and packing sheet
- the beers are in the correct order
- fonts and formatting is consistent across all pages of the booklet (when copying pages into a booklet be aware that it often will paste as Arial font instead of the Calibri font which is used in the booklet).
- if you have removed and added different beers that you have saved it as a new file under todays date. You will also need to move the old file into the superseded folder.
- booklets always need a total of pages that is easily divisible by 4 because it prints as a booklet. E.g. 12 pages for the mix 6 pack or 20 pages for the mix 12 pack.
Previous booklets can be found in Dropbox > Beer Cartel > Products > Mixed Packs > Superseded
These are useful as they often contain beers that may have cycled in and out of mix packs, i.e. if a beer is put back into a pack you can then source it and copy and paste it into the latest booklet easily.
Replacing Beers In The Booklet
As mentioned above you can often look at previous versions of a booklet to copy over a previous beer that was taken out and then put back in the mix pack. You can also look at previous beer club booklets as many of the beers that are included in the mix pack will be beers that have been included in previous beer club packs.
To search for a beer in a beer club booklet go to the Beer Club folder in Drop Box and search for the beer by name e.g. "Two Birds Golden". This will then show you the image of the beer. Right click on the image and view Properties. This will tell you the image file location within the Beer Club folder. Go to that particular Year/Month of beer club and the booklet will contain the beer you are looking for. Copy over the relevant tasting booklet page into the new booklet you are creating.
