Saddle Stitch Printing
Saddle stitched books are, simply put, folded, and stapled together. Saddle stitch is basically single sheets of paper, printed on both sides, collated in page number order, folded in half, then stapled through the fold with staples made of thin wire securing the sheets together and then trim the 3 sides to the desired, finished size. Because of the way a booklet is produced, you can’t have a random number of pages. It has to be a multiple of 4. Products can be saddle stitched along the left edge or top edge, depending on how the project is planned out. Softcover and self-cover are available. Does not have a flat or square spine. They can lay flat and stay open when you are flipping through the pages, which makes it easier to read.
This is most commonly used for picture books, portfolio books, and coloring books.
Saddle Stitch Printing
With the saddle stitch method, the pages of the booklet are printed on large sheets of paper and then folded in half, which is why you must have a page count that is evenly divisible by 4. Each sheet of paper will contain 4 of the booklet’s pages.
For example, if you are printing an 8.5” x 11” saddle stitch book, it’s pages and cover would be made from 11” x 17” sheets that are folded in half to the size of 8.5” x 11.”
We can print saddle stitch orders that are 8 - 96 pages. In other words, your document (counting the front and back cover) should be one of the following page counts:
8 | 12 | 16 | 20 | 24 | 28 | 32 | 36 40 | 44 | 48 | 52 | 56 | 60 | 64 | 68 | 72 | 76 | 80 | 84 | 88 | 92

Creep
When saddle stitching, there is a term called “page creep,” which refers to the inner-most pages being pushed out further than the pages closer to the outside of the booklet. This is most noticeable when there is a large number of pages or thicker paper. Generally, booklets under 40 pages total will not require adjustments for creep.
Diagram A below shows how the pages stick out (creep) from the book and Diagram B shows how the pages are trimmed after being stitched. PrintingCenterUSA makes every effort to adjust for creep when necessary.

Perfect Bound Printing
Perfect binding booklet printing is single sheets (text weight) paper printed on both sides and collated in page number order, one on top of the other, and gathered into a book block. The spine edge is ground off. The softcover (a thicker cardstock) is placed over and around the book block (interior pages) and attached by the application of a strong yet flexible PUR glue along the binding edge, creating a professional looking square spine that can be printed on. The other three sides of the book are then trimmed to the desired finished size to give them that clean “perfect” edge, thus the name “perfect” bound.
An open perfect bound book does not lay flat like a saddle stitch, wire-o or spiral bound book.
Number of Pages Accepted
The minimum number of pages is 28 pages to 2” thick maximum. 2 page increments are required when ordering.

Perfect Bound Design Tips
- Gutters:because perfect bound books cannot lay completely flat without breaking, there is a portion of each inside page that will lose visibility into the spine. This inside gutter can take up between ¼” and 3/8” of each page. Be mindful of this while designing and add an extra ½” cushion to the binding-side margins of each page of your perfect bound book.
- Crossoversor images that span two adjacent pages, inside of perfect bound books are not recommended.
- Spine Width A unique feature of perfect bound books is the ability to design the spine if it is larger than 1/8th inch (2" thick maximum). You can keep it a solid color, add text or have one continuous image covering the front cover across to the back cover. Determining your spine width depends on your number of pages and the paper stock you have selected. click here to download our spine calculator.

Spiral Bound Printing
Spiral bound printing is single sheets of paper printed on both sides, cut down to trim size and collated in page number order. Then a continuous plastic coil loop shaped like a long spring passes through a row of punched holes at the edge of the printed piece the binding can be on the left or top of the project depending on how the project is designed. Spiral Bound Books are easier to handle and will lie flat (180 degrees) for easy reading reference materials. Pages turn easily, lack spinal tension, and can fold or wrap back around themselves (360 degree).
Spiral bound book printing offers different coil colors, sizes, and diameters that are readily available and can accommodate a higher page count up to 2 3/4” thick. You cannot print on the spine or add or remove pages. Crossovers, or images that span two adjacent pages, inside of perfect bound books are not recommended.

Wire-O Bound Printing
Wire-O Bound Printing is single sheets of paper printed on both sides, cut down to trim size and collated in page number order. The wire, often referred to as a wire comb or twin-loop / double-loop binding, has pre-formed pairs of two small loops of wire that run along a C-shaped spine that looks like a comb. These wire loops are inserted through each of the square holes that have been punched through the edge of the printed book’s cover and pages which allow the pages of your book to line up precisely. A wire closer squeezes the spine until it is round securing the cover and pages. the binding can be on the left or top of the project depending on how the project is designed. Wire-o binding will generally have a lower page count than spiral up to 1 ¼ “thick. The wire is available in different lengths for your bound books and calendars. The color of the standard wire we offer is black. You cannot print on the spine, add or remove pages. Crossovers, or images that span two adjacent pages are not recommended.
