Booklets for brochures, price lists and programmes

Saddle stitching is the simplest way to turn a set of pages into a booklet: the sheets are folded and stapled through the spine. Choose from 8 to 48 pages in eight sizes, including A4, A5, A6, DL and two squares. Pick the paper for the inside pages and the cover separately, so you can keep the same paper throughout or add a heavier, laminated cover. Order from 25 copies up to 10,000. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply one CMYK PDF at 300dpi or higher, with the pages in reading order from front cover to back cover. Add 3mm bleed on every edge, keep text and logos at least 5mm inside the trim, and outline or embed your fonts. The number of pages in your PDF should match the page count you order.

How to set up your artwork

Bleed: 3mm beyond the trim on every side
Run backgrounds and images out to here, so there are no white edges when the sheet is trimmed.
Trim: the finished size
The finished size. This is where we cut.
Safe area
Keep text and logos well inside the trim, so nothing important is cut off.

What is a saddle stitched booklet?

A booklet made from folded sheets that are stapled through the spine. It suits lower page counts, which is why it is the usual choice for brochures and programmes.

What sizes can I order?

A4 and A5 in portrait or landscape, A6 portrait, DL portrait, and two squares at 148mm and 210mm.

Can the cover be thicker than the inside pages?

Yes. You choose the inner paper and the cover material separately. Inner pages run from 90gsm to 170gsm, and covers go up to 350gsm Art Board Silk, with options such as Pearl Icewhite 300gsm and Twill 300gsm.

Can I laminate the cover?

Yes. Gloss, matt or soft touch lamination is available on one side or both. You can also leave the cover unlaminated.
