What is saddle stitch binding?
Saddle stitching is used for page sheets printed on both sides. The maximum number of sheets is usually limited to 64. Once printed and correctly positioned, the sheets are put over a saddle stitch binder, a special machine that facilitates page order maintenance and further stitching. When the spine is formed with page sheets and the cover, it is stitched with two or more wire staples. The process ends with optional trimming.
The peculiarities of this binding method may differ depending on the type of your publication and other factors. For example, more wire stitches may be necessary to keep your piece together if you opt for larger paper. Besides, the maximum number of sheets may be reduced or increased depending on paper thickness.
At Print It ZA, we can help you get to the bottom of all the intricate aspects of saddle stitching once we receive your PDF files and understand your printing and binding needs.
