Saddle Stitched Booklet Printing

The ideal solution for projects with a lower page count, ranging from 8 to 64 pages. Saddle stitch booklets are created by folding sheets of paper and stapling them along the fold line, providing a sleek, professional appearance reminiscent of an open saddle. Saddle stitch booklet printing offers a cost-effective and visually appealing solution for presenting information in a professional manner, making it suitable for a wide range of applications and industries.

  • Choose from custom sizes ranging from A6 to A4.
  • Select from 10 inner paper stocks and 17 cover paper stocks.
  • Opt for one of the 6 cover laminations to enhance durability and aesthetics.
  • Budget-Friendly and Impressive:

Customisation

The versatility of saddle stitch booklets extends to their customisation options. Tailor your booklets to align with your branding and design preferences:

  • Paper Types: Choose from a variety of paper stocks for both inner pages and covers.
  • Sizes: Custom sizes from A6 to A4 cater to your specific project requirements.
  • Finishes: Select from a range of finishes to add that extra touch of professionalism.

Lamination for Optimal Protection:

For best results, we recommend using lamination for covers with heavy ink coverage. Lamination acts as a protective layer, safeguarding the cover from potential marking caused by ink transfer or friction during transit or storage. Choose from a variety of cover laminations, including the durable Soft Touch or the elegant Matt lamination.

Setting Up Design Files For Saddle Stitched Booklets

For help with booklet printing visit the resource Hub where we have a handy booklet help section.  Saddle Stitch Booklets, please submit artwork as one file in running order.

For example, a 40-page brochure should be supplied as one PDF with 40 pages running in page order.

Booklets must contain a page total divisible by 4.

It is recommended you do not place words, page numbers or images too close to the edges of each page.  We would recommend a safe zone on all sides of at least 5mm for saddle-stitched brochures.

  • Include 3mm bleed on all sides
  • We recommend a 5mm (ideally 10mm) safe zone for a better finish
  • Supply as a CMYK PDF
