Saddle Stitched Book printing FAQs
A saddle-stitched booklet is a book made by folding sheets of paper together and securing them with staples (stitches) along the spine. It’s ideal for brochures, catalogues, guides, and other short publications
Yes, the total page count includes the covers. The cover comprises the outer front, outer back, inner leaf and penultimate page. Each leaf is fully printable.
We offer a range of sizes from A6 up to A4, plus custom sizes and square books to suit your project.

Production times vary based on quantity and specifications; you can choose the speed of delivery on the pricing grid starting from saver up to Express. Express being our fastest turnaround.

For a more distinctive finish on your saddle-stitched cover, we offer four premium stocks: Tintoretto Gesso, Woodstock Bettula, Twill, and Pearl Icewhite. Each brings a different texture or finish, giving budget-friendly booklets a more considered look without changing the binding itself. Tintoretto Gesso A 240gsm uncoated stock with a laid, fabric-like texture and a warm, off-white tone. A good option if you want your stapled booklet to feel more crafted than standard gloss allows. Woodstock Bettula A 285gsm uncoated stock with a soft, felt-like surface and visible fibre flecks, in a pale birch-toned white. Suits programmes, zines, or brochures aiming for a natural or artisanal feel.
Twill A 300gsm stock with a fine, woven texture inspired by fabric. Adds a tailored, premium edge to short-run brochures and event materials. Pearl Icewhite A 300gsm stock with a subtle pearlescent shimmer over a crisp white base. Works well for invitations or promotional booklets wanting a touch of shine without going for a heavier binding style. Lamination is available on stocks over 250gsm, so Woodstock Bettula, Twill, and Pearl Icewhite can be laminated. Tintoretto Gesso, at 240gsm, is intended to be used as is, without lamination.
Our 40-point preflight check is an automated artwork inspection that runs when you upload a print-ready file using the Just Print service. It quickly scans your PDF for key technical issues and either fixes or flags common problems so your file is ready for printing. The check includes verifying file type and size, checking for corrupt or password-protected files, ensuring fonts are embedded, converting colours to CMYK, setting trim and bleed boxes, adjusting line weights, flattening layers and transparencies, correcting orientation and scaling errors, reducing excessive ink coverage, down-sampling very high-resolution images, and more. If something can’t be fixed automatically, you’ll be notified to correct it before printing
