Saddle Stitched Booklets: The Sleek, Professional, Low-Cost Booklet Solution
Saddle-stitched booklets are the perfect solution, whether you’re looking for low-cost booklet printing, brochures to showcase your products, annual reports, magazines, or order of service printing. At BookletPrinting.co.uk, we make it easy to get the perfect finish for all your document printing and binding.
Are Saddle-Stitched Booklets Right for My Project?
Saddle stitching works best for documents up to 64 pages and we square off the spine for an even better finish on books with more than 40 printed pages, to stop booklets from “springing open”.
Perfect Bound Books are a better option for thicker documents with more than 64 pages where saddle-stitching isn’t possible.
The Saddle Stitching Process
The saddle stitching process involves binding pages with staples along the spine, ensuring a sleek finish, which is ideal for creating professional-looking brochures, reports, and catalogues at an affordable price.
How to Print a Booklet
All saddle-stitched books must be created in multiples of 4 pages, counting each page as you would in a normal page-numbered book. Thus, a single page folded in half becomes a 4-page “book” and so on.
We recommend all projects use 3mm of bleed for a perfect edge and there are templates for all popular sizes in the Design Templates section below that you can use to create your booklet.
Please supply your saddle stitched booklets as one multi-page PDF consisting of single pages running in order from the front cover to the back cover, including any blank pages if needed.
Customise The Size & Finish
We offer a wide range of customisation options, including various preset brochure sizes like A4 portrait, A4 landscape, A5 portrait, A5 landscape, A6, and 210mm x 210mm square or you can specify custom dimensions during the quote process. Plus, we have a variety of luxury papers and high-quality paper stocks to enhance your printed materials.
You can even opt for matt or gloss lamination on the cover for added durability.

Silk
Silk coated paper has a smooth feel with a discreet surface sheen. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear distinct and clear. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 150gsm)
Gloss
Gloss coated paper has a shiny surface and very smooth finish. Colour is sharp and stands out well. Ink dries quickly and the need for lamination is reduced. (Cover 250gsm – 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 200gsm)
Premium uncoated
Our premium uncoated paper is absorbent. Printed inks appear flatter due to this absorbency, and the paper has a soft finish. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 300gsm; inner text 100gsm – 120gsm)

Finishes
Matt lamination gives a soft, contemporary effect. Gloss lamination gives a higher quality shine finish than gloss card. Lamination is most useful with solid colours or images to enhance their vibrancy or where you want to protect your printed documents. Lamination is only available on stocks over 250gsm.
Lamination is not available on luxury papers. We offer the largest range of saddle-stitched brochures online with fast and efficient turnarounds and speedy delivery.
