Saddle Stitched Printing for Professional Booklets & Handouts

Saddle-stitch binding is created by folding printed pages in half and uses a stapled spine to produce a slim book that’s easily portable, very economical and professional looking. Saddle stitch book printing is the ideal binding method for handouts, as the finished product is easy to stack and transport.
