Question
What binding method should I use for a 34-page booklet?
Answer
For a 34 page booklet, perfect binding is usually the stronger choice. It creates a flat, squared spine that holds higher page counts securely and gives a bookstore-style finish, while saddle stitch is better suited to lower page counts.
| Binding | Best for | Spine |
|---|---|---|
| Saddle stitch | Roughly 8 to 32 pages | Folded and stapled, no flat spine |
| Perfect binding | Around 28 pages and up | Glued, flat squared spine |
- At 34 pages you sit right at the edge of what saddle stitch handles cleanly, so perfect binding tends to sit and open better.
- Think about the look you want: a flat printable spine points to perfect binding, while a thinner lay-flatter booklet points to saddle stitch.
