Finishing

High-Quality Stitched Booklet Printing

Saddle-stitched binding is one of the most popular and cost-effective ways to present your multi-page documents. By securing pages with discreet wire staples along the spine, we create clean, professional booklets that lay relatively flat and offer a comfortable reading experience. Whether you are producing a small promotional zine or a high-end corporate brochure, our stitched binding service provides a polished, durable finish.

Stocks & Finishes

Tailored Paper Stocks & Premium Finishes

To ensure your booklets feel as good as they look, we combine precision binding with a wide selection of paper weights and professional treatments. Adhering to these material standards ensures structural rigidity and a high-quality, polished result for every project.

Custom Cover Weights

We recommend a heavy-weight “cover wrap” of 250gsm or 300gsm to provide a rigid, professional feel for your booklet.

150gsm

Inner Page Selection

Pair your heavy cover with lighter 150gsm internal pages to ensure a comfortable and professional tactile experience.

Versatile Material Finishes

Choose from silk for a subtle sheen, gloss for vibrant photographic depth, or uncoated stocks for a classic, natural aesthetic.

Durable Protective Lamination

Apply matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination to outer covers to create a scuff-resistant barrier for frequently handled documents.

Our Process

Beyond Simple Binding

Our stitched booklet service is designed to turn your digital layouts into professional physical assets that effectively communicate your message.

  1. 1
    Phase 1

    Precision Collation and Creasing

    To prevent the “cracking” of ink along the spine, we professionally crease every cover before binding. This ensures a clean, sharp fold that preserves your artwork and provides a high-quality, professional finish.

  2. 2
    Phase 2

    Automated Face Trimming

    When multiple pages are folded together, the inner sheets naturally push outward (known as “creep”). Our automated trimming process removes this excess material, ensuring that all edges are perfectly flush and your margins remain consistent throughout the booklet.

  3. 3
    Phase 3

    High-Definition Digital Output

    We use high-speed digital presses to ensure that your text is razor-sharp and your photography remains vibrant. This high-definition output is perfect for everything from short-run event programmes to high-volume product catalogues.

Artwork Templates

Download Your Booklet Template

Download a free template to set up your artwork at the right size. It shows the bleed area, cut line and safe zone, so nothing important gets trimmed. Place your design on a new layer over the template and delete the template when you are done.

  • Bleed: extend your background to here
  • Cut line: where we trim
  • Safe zone: keep text and key details inside

Booklet pages go in multiples of 4. Please supply single pages as a print-ready PDF with crop marks and bleed, not as spreads.
