FAQs

Why is this binding called “saddle-stitching” if it uses staples?

What’s the difference between saddle-stitch and perfect bound booklets?

What's the difference between saddle stitch and square saddle binding?

Why can saddle-stitch booklets only be ordered in four-page increments?

Saddle-stitch booklets are printed on long sheets of paper that are folded and stapled in the middle. So for every long paper used in the process, four pages are created in the final booklet—with the original sheet folded into two halves and each of those halves having two sides.

This means that adding or removing a single long sheet will increase or decrease your page count by four. If your booklet has a page count that is not a multiple of four, we can integrate blank pages in the front or back of your design to make it bindable.

How many pages can a saddle-stitch booklet have?

Saddle stitching works best for booklets with 64 pages or less. If your book has 68-144 pages, it may not lie flat and could require more than the typical two staples used in binding. Booklets that are more than 120 pages thick have paper stock options of: 60 lb. Uncoated Text Paper, 70 lb. Uncoated Text Paper, 80 lb. Matte Text Paper, or 80 lb. Gloss Text Paper. If you try to order a booklet with more than 120 pages and request a paper type that’s not supported for the square saddle-stitch method of that size, you may receive an error message that prompts you to choose a different paper weight or finish.
