Horrible Experience

Sep 18, 2025 | Roshanaa K. | Verified Buyer
I ordered a saddle stitch booklet and had a horrible experience. Not only was the product not delivered on time multiple times, but when it did come it was full of production issues. I tried chat, email and phone and no one was helpful. I was told things were being escalated and that someone was monitoring my order but it just kept getting delayed so clearly that was not the case. I’d recommend not ordering to avoid the headache and the unreliable service.

Looked great, arrived sooner than expected

Aug 12, 2025 | Jonathan | Verified Buyer
This was my first time ordering this type of booklet, so I was a little unsure of how it would look. Gratefully it looked exactly as it should have - no pictures out of line, everything clear, nothing cut off. It also arrived a day or two earlier than expected. Overall, quite happy with it and would order again.

Saddle stitched means that the booklets are bound with staples. Perfect bound booklets, on the other hand, are bound with glue. Saddle-stitch booklets are considered low-cost and durable, a straightforward choice for an assortment of projects or business needs – we particularly recommend them for price lists, product catalogs, event programs, brochures, pamphlets and magazines. They also work well for restaurants or cafes in need of longer, more detailed menus.

Your stapled booklets can include 8-76 pages – this includes 4 cover pages (front cover, inside front cover, back cover and inside back cover). For example, an 8-page booklet = 4 cover pages + 4 inside pages. You can increase or decrease a stapled booklet’s page count in increments of 4: 12 pages, 16 pages, 20 pages, etc.

No, you’re not required to - you’ll just need to include blank pages in your print-ready PDF. But if you’d like to utilize all the space and add content to all 4 cover pages, you’re welcome to do that, too.

Yes – for a successful print, we recommend following these design tips and upload specifications.

  • Format: Your file needs to be in PDF format – without password protection.

  • Layout: Your file should include single pages, each arranged in the correct reading order. Make sure your file includes all of your pages – including 4 cover pages.

  • Blank Pages: If you want blank inside cover pages, make sure you include blank pages within your PDF file.

  • Colours: Stapled booklets are printed in CMYK. Images provided in RGB or PANTONE colours will be converted.

  • Resolution: 300dpi is the required resolution for stapled booklets. Lower resolutions may affect the printing quality.

  • Bleeds: For an accurate print, include a 1/8" (0.125 in) bleed on every side of every page. If you encounter file upload issues, double-check your bleed – it may exceed the accepted ±0.25 threshold.

  • Margins: Keep all text at least 1/2" (0.5 in) from the margins. Anything closer may be too close to the edge (or the binding) to easily read.

We don’t offer proofs, but you can order a single booklet to see how your design turns out before ordering a higher quantity.

Our saddle-stitch booklets are available in matte or glossy, with budget, standard or premium cover paper thicknesses available.

Note that you can combine standard or premium glossy cover paper with matte inside paper. Otherwise, the cover paper stock and inside paper stock will be the same. All inside paper has budget (80lb.) thickness.
