Saddle Stitch Booklet

A Saddle Stitch Booklet is a type of booklet that is bound together with staples. The pages of the booklet are folded in half and then stapled through the fold, creating a spine. This method is used for thinner books (4-152 pages) and is the most economical solution for binding. Choose from printing in black and white, or full color to bring your content to life. Additionally, choose between our standard full color cover with UV gloss coating on cover stock, or self-cover, which is the same paper stock used for the insides of the book. Saddle Stitch Booklets are a popular choice for short booklets, such as children’s books, marketing brochures, newsletters, and instruction manuals.
