Question
What cardstock weight is recommended for saddle-stitch bound booklets?
Answer
For saddle-stitch booklets, a lighter uncoated text stock is generally used for the inside pages with a heavier cover stock on the outside. Stock that is too thick is hard to fold and turn at the spine, so the combination matters.
| Component | Recommended stock |
|---|---|
| Inside pages | Lighter uncoated text stock |
| Cover | Heavier cover stock |
