Question
What binding options are available for catalogs and booklets?
Answer
Catalogs and booklets are usually bound one of two ways, and the best choice comes down to page count, budget, and the look you want on the shelf.
| Binding | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Saddle stitch | Folded sheets stapled through the spine | Lower page counts, budget friendly runs |
| Perfect bound | Pages glued into a flat, square spine | Thicker books that need a premium feel |
- Saddle stitching is the more economical option and lays flatter for thinner books
- Perfect binding gives a bookstore quality spine you can print on, but costs more
- Page count drives the decision: saddle stitch suits roughly 8 to 64 pages, perfect binding handles thicker projects
Pick saddle stitch to keep costs down on shorter pieces, and perfect binding when you want a durable, high end catalog.
