Question

What is saddle stitching?

Answer

Saddle stitching binds a booklet by nesting folded sheets together and stapling through the spine crease. It is the most economical binding method, and because the pages lie fairly flat it is a favorite for shorter booklets.

  • How it works: sheets are folded, gathered, and stapled through the fold at the spine.
  • Page range: suits booklets up to roughly 60 pages.
  • Benefits: low cost, quick production, and pages that open nearly flat.
