Saddle stitching opens flat, keeps content clear at the fold and creates a slim, portable booklet. Ideal for travel guides, course materials, portfolios, company catalogues and product brochures. The page count must be a multiple of 4.
Need a corporate catalogue / course handbook / event programme / portfolio booklet, but do not want to print too many? Saddle stitching is the most common and economical binding method: it opens flat, is easy to flip through, and produces lightweight, portable booklets that look polished even in small quantities.
A polished feel with visuals that remain pleasing to view; ideal for brand profiles, course handbooks and event programmes.
Richer images and a more substantial feel when turning the pages; ideal for portfolios, product catalogues and display catalogues.
Clean, easy to read and more economical; ideal for reports, handouts, guide booklets and simple catalogues.
The inner pages open flat, making spreads clearer and pages comfortable to turn.
Order from just 1 copy—convenient for testing demand, producing a sample or distributing a small batch.
Among comparable binding methods, saddle stitching is usually the most economical, cost-effective option for booklets.
Tip: if you need a low page count, a booklet that opens flat and copies for street or event distribution, saddle stitching is generally the first choice.
