Saddle Stitch Binding, sometimes called booklet making, is a great finishing option for your documents. In addition, Saddle-Stitched binding is among the easiest and most common methods to finish booklets. The Saddle Stitch method is most effective for binding booklets and publications with 64 pages or less. Books and other documents that are commonly Saddle Stitched include programs, wall calendars, booklets, newsletters, pamphlets, direct mailers, comic books, thinner magazines and catalogs.

Why is it called Saddle Stitching? Well, actually, we’re just stapling sheets of paper together but in the printing industry we call that Stitching. However, to staple or stitch the sheets together, we collate the sheets over a Saddle-like device during the stapling/stitching process, hence the name Saddle Stitching.
