What is saddle stitch binding?

Saddle stitch binding is a common and cost-effective binding method used to bind booklets, brochures, magazines, and other types of printed materials. In this binding method, folded sheets of paper are stacked together and secured along the spine with staples.

Saddle stitching is popular for its simplicity, ease of production, and flexibility. It is suitable for binding smaller publications with a low page count, typically up to 64 pages. The finished product lays flat when opened, making it ideal for materials with a lot of imagery or graphics.

Saddle stitch binding is often used for marketing materials, catalogs, programs, newsletters, and other types of short-run printed materials. It is a quick and cost-effective option for binding projects with a fast turnaround time.
