Saddle Stitch Booklet Printing Perth

A high-quality, customisable, and cost-effective printing solution

What is Saddle Stitch Booklet Printing?

Saddle stitch book printing is a popular printing method to bind small booklets, brochures, magazines, and catalogues.

This binding technique involves folding sheets of paper in half and then stapling them along the fold, which is often referred to as the spine.

Saddle stitch book binding is preferred for its simplicity and cost efficiency, making it excellent for short-run publications like event programs, menus, and other multi-page documents where a fancy binding is unnecessary.

Proofing and Revisions
Printing: The booklet pages are printed on large sheets, typically with multiple pages per sheet laid out so that they are in the correct order when folded.
Folding: After printing, the sheets are folded in half, known as “signatures.”
Stapling: Metal staples are inserted along the fold line from the outside, securing the sheets together. The number of staples used can vary, but typically ranges from two to three, depending on the booklet thickness.
Rimming: Once stapled, the other three sides of the booklet may be trimmed to give a clean, even edge.
