Saddle-Stitched Booklets
Professional Booklet Printing for Catalogues, Magazines, Programs & Company Publications
Saddle-Stitched Booklets are one of the most popular and economical ways to produce professional multi-page publications. Whether you’re creating product catalogues, event programs, company brochures, training manuals or community newsletters, saddle stitching provides a clean, professional finish that is ideal for shorter publications.
At The Print Shop Online, we produce high-quality Saddle-Stitched Booklets using premium papers and vibrant full-colour printing, delivering outstanding results for businesses, schools, clubs and organisations throughout Australia.
What Are Saddle-Stitched Booklets?
Saddle-Stitched Booklets are produced by folding printed sheets together and securing them through the centre fold with two staples. This creates a neat, professional booklet that lays comfortably in the hand and is perfect for publications with lower page counts.
Because the pages are folded together rather than glued, saddle stitching is both cost-effective and durable, making it an excellent choice for many business and promotional publications.
