Things to consider
- How many pages do you have? As seen from the options above, your online booklet printing choice can depend on how big your booklet is going to be.
- You’ll want your booklet to look sharp. Images are great attention grabbers. Resolutions above 300dpi work great. You’ve also got to pick a font that is attention-grabbing without being distracting. Most people prefer 10-12 point fonts, but if you’ve got an older audience, large print makes for an easier read.
- If you decide to go with the Saddle Stitched option, because of the way it's printed (see below), the number of pages should be divisible by 4. Don't worry too much if it's not, as our system will detect it and insert blanks at the end of your document to fix it.
What exactly is a saddle stitched booklet?
Each multiple of 4 pages of the document is printed double sided on a single sheet of paper, and this sheet is called a signature. The number of pages in a booklet document must be divisible by 4, so a 32 page document would have 8 signatures. These signatures are folded and gathered together or collated. These gathered signatures are now known as a section, and this section is dropped on a ‘saddle’. Stitching heads then thread wire from a spool and these shorts wires are cinched to form the recognisable staples in a booklet. Hence the term 'saddle stitched booklet.'
