Custom Booklet Binding Options
There are two primary binding methods we use for booklets: saddle stitch and perfect bound.
Saddle Stitch Booklet Printing
Saddle stitching involves inserting staples into the spine and is ideal for smaller booklets and publications less than 96 pages. This method is most often used for product manuals, instruction guides and smaller booklets. Saddle stitch booklet printing is one of the most cost-effective binding options available, which makes it a popular choice for businesses ordering in bulk. Our saddle stitch booklets are easy to produce and an affordable way to bring your booklet to life. Our quick online booklet printing is a great way to get information out fast.

Perfect Bound Booklet Printing
Perfect bound involves thermal gluing of pages along the book's spine and is best for volumes larger than 40 pages. Perfect bound booklet printing gives your publication a polished, professional, printed-spine appearance similar to a retail magazine or paperback book. Perfect bound books are designed for your more extensive business booklet printing and magazine-style printing needs. Use this binding method to create:
- Price Booklets
- Product Catalogs
- Magazines
- Self-published Books
- Employee Manuals
- Cookbooks
- Company Handbooks
- Yearbooks
- Annual Reports

Spiral & Other Custom Booklet Binding Options
While our most popular options are for saddle-stitch and perfect bound booklets, we also offer spiral binding options which are great for cookbooks, presentations, manuals, and reports. Spiral bound booklets lay flat when opened, making them a practical choice for training materials, workbooks, and reference guides that get used again and again. We can also print and mail newsletters and other direct mail marketing booklets. Booklet printing services have never been easier.
