Saddle Stitch Booklets

High-Quality Saddle Stitch Booklet Printing That’s Affordable and Professional

Saddle stitch booklet printing is a reliable and cost-effective way to present your catalogs, programs, and marketing materials in a clean, professional format. A saddle stitch catalog is a type of booklet or catalog that is bound using a saddle stitch binding method. Saddle stitching involves folding the pages in half and then binding them together by stapling through the folded crease. This creates a booklet that is both sturdy and easy to handle, with pages that can lay flat when opened.

Saddle stitch catalogs are commonly used for marketing and advertising purposes, as they are an affordable and effective way to showcase products or services. They are often used for product catalogs, event programs, magazines, and brochures. AxiomPrint offers high quality saddle stitch booklets that are affordable, durable, and long-lasting. Saddle stitch catalogs are typically meant for products with page ranges from 8 to 64; however, we do not recommend going over 50 pages, because it won’t look as nice as perfectly bound booklets.

Saddle stitch booklet printing has become significantly more automated with the latest digital printing technology. Variable page printing now comes off the press fully pre-collated, allowing booklets to move directly into the saddle stitching machine without additional colletion or folding. By reducing extra handling steps through automation, we are able to produce catalogs faster, more efficiently, and at a lower cost while maintaining precise registration. The color output from modern digital presses is exceptional and competes closely with traditional offset printing quality.

This cutting-edge technology allows us to deliver high-quality saddle stitched booklets to a wider range of clients, from short-run marketing projects to large-scale catalog production, with greater speed, consistency, and value than ever before.

Size Limitations

Saddle stitch booklets are produced by folding sheets in half and stapling through the center crease. Because of this structure, page counts must be in multiples of four.

While saddle stitch catalogs can range from 8 to 64 pages depending on paper thickness, we generally recommend keeping page counts under 50 pages for the best overall appearance and reduced page creep. For thicker projects, perfectly bound booklets may provide a more refined spine. Our catalogs come in the following common size:

• Portrait - 8.5" x 11", 5.5" x 8.5", 6" x 9"
• Landscape - 11" x 8.5", 8.5" x 5.5", 9" x 6"
• Sqaure - 8.5" x 8.5", 12" x 12"

Saddle stitch booklets are printed using high-quality digital or offset printing technology, depending on quantity and specifications. After printing, sheets are folded, gathered in order, and stapled through the center crease using precision stitching equipment.

This process ensures clean folds, accurate page alignment, and secure center stitching. The result is a durable booklet that is easy to flip through and presents content clearly and professionally.
