Each copy is made to order, giving you a clear idea of how your final product could look and feel. It is a practical way to review print quality, paper options and finishes before placing a full order. This helps you make an informed decision and ensures the product meets your expectations.

Technical Specifications for Saddle Stitch Booklets

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

For example, a 40-page brochure should be supplied as one PDF with the front cover as page 1 and the back cover as page 40, with 38 pages running in order inbetween.

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

• Outline or embed fonts

• 300dpi resolution

Please note: The artwork you use for your sample booklet will also be suitable for any future larger orders placed using your discount code, subject to review and final approval by our prepress team to ensure print readiness.

For more guidance on how to successfully set up and submit your artwork, see our booklets and brochures help pages.
