Each of our saddle-stitched booklets includes 4 cover pages (2 in the front, 2 in the back), available in budget, standard or premium matte or glossy paper stock. And, if you choose a premium glossy cover, you can decide to keep a glossy inside paper stock, or switch it up with a low-glare matte surface.

Our uploading experience is designed to make it as easy as possible to print your own booklet. To begin, choose your booklet’s size and number of pages, then upload your PDF using our easy upload system. Next, confirm your cover and inside paper stock before you check out.

Great Experience

Jan 5, 2026 | Natalia P. | Verified Buyer
The first time I placed the order, there was an issue with missprint and how the file had uploaded. The Vista team was incredibly helpful and were very accommodating to resolving my issues. The final order came in and it looks incredible. The quality is very professional. I will continue to use Vista Print for all my companies reports.

Great quality!

Made a magazine and splurged for the extra thick cover paper. The feel of the pages and printing quality is superb. I’m super happy with my project and glad there is a print preview before submitting the order.

Disappointed

Look amazing

Dec 20, 2025 | Dan | Verified Buyer
The booklets turned out perfect. I was a bit nervous because they didn't have the option to flip through the pages once it was uploaded, but they look awesome.

Wrong order, twice

Dec 16, 2025 | shaun T. | Verified Buyer
I ordered Saddle Stitch booklets with matte inside pages and got glossy pages. They made me another order and sent it, still got glossy inside pages. These were prepaid booklets for Christmas from my clients and now I have to refund them and they need new gifts. Very disappointed.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Furthermore, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the repeated issue with the page finish and appreciate your patience throughout the process.

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 catalogues, 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 utilise 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.
