Saddle Stitch Magazine Printing

Saddle stitch binding — also known as stapled binding — is one of the most widely used and cost-effective binding methods for magazines, brochures and booklets. Two metal staples are inserted through the spine of the folded pages, creating a clean, flat publication that lies open naturally and is easy to browse from cover to cover.

Our saddle stitch magazine printing service is specifically designed for large print runs, making it the smart choice when you need to produce significant quantities of a publication efficiently and economically. By using lightweight paper for the inside pages, we help you keep shipping costs low and make it far easier to transport and distribute your magazines at events, trade fairs or through postal campaigns — without any reduction in print quality.

Available Formats for Saddle Stitched Magazine Printing

Our large-run saddle stitch magazine printing is available in two of the most popular and practical formats for magazine and brochure production:

• A4 (21 x 29.7 cm) — the standard magazine format, widely recognised and ideal for product catalogues, company profiles and trade publications.
• A5 (14.8 x 21 cm) — a compact and highly portable format, perfect for handouts, event programmes and sales literature that needs to travel well.

Both formats are printed in portrait orientation, ensuring a professional, conventional magazine layout that your audience will find immediately familiar and easy to read.

Calculating the Page Count for Your Saddle Stitch Magazine

When setting up your saddle stitch magazine printing order, it's important to calculate your page count correctly. The total number of pages must always be a multiple of four, as each printed sheet produces two pages — one on the front and one on the back. Your total page count should include the four pages that make up your cover (front cover, back cover, inside front and inside back), plus all of your inside pages.

As an example: if your magazine has 60 inside pages, your total page count will be 64 (60 inside pages plus 4 cover pages). We strongly recommend downloading our template and preparation instructions before setting up your artwork file, to ensure everything is formatted correctly and your order runs smoothly from the very first step.

Paper Options for Your Saddle Stitched Magazine

Choosing the right paper is key to achieving the look and feel you want for your publication. Our saddle stitch magazine printing service offers a carefully selected range of paper options for both the inside pages and the cover.

For the inside pages, all large-run saddle stitch magazines are printed on Classic Demimatt 70 gsm — a long-lasting, wood-free matt coated paper that delivers excellent photographic reproduction, bringing out the finest details with clarity and producing clean, sharp text throughout. Its lightweight nature makes it particularly well suited to high-volume print runs where keeping overall weight and distribution costs to a minimum is a priority.

For the cover, you have three options to choose from depending on the finish and weight you require:

• Self Cover — the cover is printed on the same Classic Demimatt 70 gsm paper as the inside pages, creating a consistent, unified look throughout the publication. This is the most economical option and works well for lighter, high-volume distributions.
• Classic Demimatt with Matt Lamination (200 gsm) — a heavier, matt coated cover with a subtle, non-reflective laminated finish. This option gives your magazine a more structured feel and a sophisticated, understated appearance that works particularly well for corporate publications and company profiles.
• Classic Demimatt with Gloss Lamination (250 gsm) — a premium weight cover with a high-shine gloss laminated finish that makes colours vivid and images striking. Ideal when you want your magazine to stand out on a display stand or in a trade fair environment.
