What is saddle stitch binding?

In the print industry, saddle stitching refers to stapling or stitching pages together on one side. It is a very popular form of binding. If you come across a magazine, comic book, or brochure, chances are that it would have been bound together with saddle stitching.

The page count for a booklet that has been saddle stitched should be in multiples of four.

How is saddle stitching done?

Stacks of paper are nested within one another and are placed over an apparatus where each side is hanging down as if on a saddle. Long wire staples are then used to ‘stitch’ the pages together.

Can this be used for books of any size?

While the standard is two staples for each booklet, larger paper sizes may require more staples.

What are some benefits of saddle stitching?

This form of binding is very effective because of its longevity and cost-effectiveness. It produces quality and professional-looking booklets.

Also, if these booklets need to be shipped, saddle stitching contributes to the least amount of bulk and weight, thus reducing shipping charges.

Another plus for saddle stitching is that it can work for pages of any dimension and orientation.
