Saddle Stitched binding is essentially a fancy way of saying stapled! It is one of the most professional yet affordable options for creating booklets and we are able to supply you with the best.
We have a wide range of sizes and premium quality papers available to suit any number of different uses.
Q: How many pages does my booklet have?
A: This is something that often causes confusion. When we talk about pages, we are referring to the number of ‘sides’ in your booklet, not ‘leaves’ or ‘spreads’.
Why can I only have 4/8/12 etc. pages?
Booklets are made up from sheets of paper that are printed both sides and folded in half. A single sheet of paper folded in half will make 4 pages, so all booklets have to be a multiple of 4 pages long.
Q: Is it possible to get a proof sent over before going to print?
A: Yes. we always make sure our customers receive a high-quality PDF proof of their work before anything goes to print. We want to make sure you are happy with your end product so if there are any errors or changes that need making, we like to make sure that they are caught nice and early. We can supply printed proofs on request, but there is a charge for this to cover the production, postage and packaging.
Q. Can the cover for my stapled booklet be a different material to the contents?
A. It can indeed! Just select your desired finish for your inners and cover from the drop down boxes above. A 300gsm silk cover always works well and this will feel noticeably different to the contents pages no matter what thickness or finish you select.
Q. How do I provide my designs for a stapled booklet?
A. Our Artwork Supply Guide should contain everything you need to know for providing designs. Please make sure that you clearly display the desired order for your pages. Also be aware that page spreads may not line up perfectly, though we keep them as tight as possible. If you are unsure of anything, please contact us.
Q. Do you offer any other types of binding?
A. Yes! We also offer perfect bound, case bound and wiro bound booklets and books. Please contact us with your requirements or request a quote.
