Saddle Stitch Booklet Printing

Saddle Stitch Book printing

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...

Perfect Bound Book 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.

Spiral Bound Book printing

Spiral Binding is more durable than wire-o binding but does not have the professional look of a wire-o bound book. A spiral bound book uses a durable plastic coil which makes it an ideal option for spiral book binding that needs to lie flat and can fold or wrap back around themselves (360 degree) and are continually being referred to. The plastic coil allows for frequent use that not damage the book binding coil. Spiral bound book printing is great for instruction and repair manuals, cookbooks, directories, handbooks, guides, and other reference materials. Spiral binding is excellent for wall calendars and planners can hang flat against the wall.

Wire-O Bound Book printing

Wire-O binding is for a more formal use and offers a more professional look than a spiral bound book. A wire-o bound book uses a metal wire. Unlike a perfect bound or saddle-stitched book, the open wire-o bound book will lie flat (180 degrees) for easy reference or they can fold or wrap back around themselves (360 degree) making it easier to handle and lays flat for easy reading while taking up minimal room on a desk or table.

Wire-o binding is an excellent style of binding commonly used for businesses to create professional-looking lay flat documents such as business reports, documents, calendars and other book types. Wire-o binding calendars are one of our most popular products. The pages flip easily and hang flat against the wall. Wall calendars are great for non-profit fundraising programs, promoting business and photography.

Saddle Stitch printing may be used for a variety of purposes, such as self-publishing your own architecture, research, home, auction, fact booklets, and so much more. PrintingCenterUSA produces high-quality saddle stitch bound books with an expert, paperback appearance.

How to arrange pages for 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. We can print saddle stitch orders that are 8 - 92 pages. Click Here to learn more about page count for saddle stitch.

Does saddle stitch lay flat?

Saddle stitch bound books and booklets do lay flat. This makes them a great option for projects such as coloring books, as you don’t need to hold them open the entire time. Depending on how many pages you have in your product, there might be a slight “poof” in the center of the pages, but it will still lay flat.

What is saddle stitch booklet printing?

Saddle stitch booklet printing is when four pages are printed onto one sheet of paper (two on the front, two on the back) and then collated in a way that, when folded and stapled through the midline, the pages appear in sequential order. Click here to learn more.

Unfortunately won’t use any longer. The cover card stock doesn’t match my previous orders so I can’t package items together as needed (all previous order were uncoated cover stock and while selections were identical on this order, cover stock is a very glossy). Printing quality is good. Just wish the consistency was there with final product.

PrintingCenterUSA allowed me to produce a long-wanted church photo directory at an affordable price. We are a small congregation and didn't need a large run. The online tool for designing was much appreciated, if not always intuitive--once I got the hang of it I was able to accomplish the task more easily than going back and re-learning graphics software I haven't used for a few years. Once the proof was approved I was advised to look for it a couple of weeks later, but it arrived early despite the intervening holiday. Thank you!

It's nice to know they are there to help me get the order right the first time. This is not the first time I have ordered from them, and definitely will not be the last. Highly recommend!

Our booklets looked amazing and, like many projects I am sure that PrintingCenterUSA receives, we were pushing a deadline. The website and especially our project manager were very helpful in getting our project completed faster than promised and delivered swiftly. Most importantly, we loved the results, especially the elegant Soft Touch Lamination coating. It was worth the added cost. We highly recommend this company and its products.

Upon receiving the booklets that were created in Canva, I was truly impressed. The booklet was done in a very professional fashion and the colors of the pictures were amazing.

I have ordered full color, spiral bound, vinyl covered booklets for the last several years. I use them as teaching field guides for international study trips that I lead. The booklets (84-100 pages) are immaculate, durable, and of the highest quality. The turn-around time after ordering is amazing fast for a job like this. I have been, and will be, a customer for years to come. Thank you!

We took a shot and printed out booklets with PrintingCenterUSA though we had never heard of them. We designed them ourselves and then used this company to print them.
