Saddle-stitching is the most popular and cost-effective method for printing multi-page booklets. Large sheets of paper are printed four pages per sheet, folded in half, then stapled through the spine with two wire staples - creating a clean, professional booklet that lays flat when open and is easy to read and distribute.
This binding is ideal for booklets with 8 to 64 pages and is widely used for event programs, product catalogs, newsletters, menus, promotional brochures, and training guides. The fully automated production process keeps costs low even for short print runs, making saddle stitch the go-to choice when both quality and value matter.
