Stapled booklets are often also called saddle-stitched booklets. Saddle stitch binding is a really popular method where printed pages are folded, gathered together, and then stitched up the fold line with a sturdy metal staple. The popularity of this technique is largely down to two things: they’re really fast to produce, and are cost effective! Stapled booklets are a surefire way of keeping all the information you are printing together in one place.

Whether you’re designing the artwork yourself or are instructing your in-house design team, making a stapled booklet is straightforward. You can create your stapled book print in Microsoft Word or, if you have access to professional design applications like Photoshop or InDesign, our how-to instructions will show you how to set your artwork up in easy steps.

You can choose from various paper types to make a booklet to suit your budget. There’s high-quality 150gsm silk paper available, or 120gsm uncoated paper for a writable finish. You can also pick from a self-cover (which is the same as your inner pages) or a 250gsm thick cover; perfect if you’re printing professional stapled brochures to hand out to clients – these will put the icing on the cake!
