FAQs
- Why is it called saddle stitch if the binding has staples?
-
Saddle stitching refers to the equipment used to create the binding. The sheets are folded and placed in order over a rounded triangle form, or “saddle,” and then stitched together with staples.
- How do I arrange pages for school saddle stitch booklet printing?
-
For your school booklet, please provide one file that includes your cover and interior pages. We request that the file be sent as single pages, in one multi-page PDF. Please include the pages in this order:
Outside front cover, inside front cover, page one, two, three, etc., inside back cover, outside back cover.
It’s very important to provide the interior pages in the order they’ll be read.
Note: Uploading a single-page PDF file does not mean uploading one PDF for each page. It means all the pages in your PDF file should be single pages, not spreads.
- What is the minimum and maximum number of pages my school saddle stitched booklet can have?
-
Custom school booklets must have a minimum of eight pages and can have a maximum of 48 pages as long as the interior pages have a 100# text weight or 80# text weight. For booklets with 40 pages or more, we recommend using the same paper weight for the cover and interior pages. For custom books measuring 9” x 12” or larger, the maximum number of pages is 36.
