Question
What file format should I submit for a saddle-stitched catalog?
Answer
Saddle-stitched catalogs should be submitted as single pages so they impose and bind correctly.
- Export as single pages, not spreads, in reading order.
- Include bleed on every page so images run to the trimmed edge.
- Do not add crop marks.
- Keep the total page count a multiple of 4, since saddle stitching binds pages in four-page signatures.
If you are unsure how to set up the file for your specific page count, reach out with your project details for guidance before you upload.
