At Clear Print, we specialise in printing annual reports, magazines, and brochures using Saddle Stitched binding which guarantees a sleek and professional presentation.

Saddle stitched means binding pages together along the spine using staples (known as stitches). We also square off the spine for an even better finish on books with more than 24 printed pages, to stop booklets from “springing open”.

Saddle-stitched books must be printed in multiples of 4 pages, counting each page as you would in a normal page-numbered book. Thus, a single page folded in half becomes a 4-page “book” and so on.

Saddle stitching is an ideal printing solution for documents up to 48 pages, providing a professional finish with sharp, vibrant colour at a competitive price.

There is a range of high-quality papers to choose from with the option to select lighter paper for the inner section and heavier stock for the cover, with a choice of Matt or Gloss lamination for added strength.

For booklets with more than 28 pages, 130gsm or lighter is recommended.
