Common Binding Methods

Introduction to Saddle Stitching

Saddle stitching is a widely used binding method, favored for its speed and cost-effectiveness. This binding approach is not only straightforward and easy to understand but also facilitates convenient page-turning for readers. For the inner pages, 80-gram copy paper or coated paper is commonly used for printing. As for the cover, a variety of materials can be selected, such as linen-finish paper, coated paper, matte-coated paper, pearlescent paper, or white cardboard, to achieve different visual effects.

It has a broad range of applications: product manuals, sample booklets, picture albums, conference materials, training manuals, VI (Visual Identity) manuals, contract documents, and recruitment manuals are all ideal candidates for saddle stitching. This binding method is suitable for various types of books and manuals and can meet the needs of different fields and industries.

Points to Note: When adopting the saddle stitching method, it is essential to ensure that the page count is a multiple of 4 and that the pages are folded in a cross-page manner for binding. Since saddle stitching only uses two wire staples for connection, and the wire is prone to rusting, the binding's durability is relatively weak. Therefore, it is more suitable for binding materials with less content.
