Saddle Stiching Binding
Description
Wire staples hold the pages together. A machine drives them through its backbone fold to the centrefold, where they clench. A saddle-stitched printed piece lies almost flat when opened, a convenience for readers.
However, saddle stitching involves certain mechanical requirements. A saddle-stitched document must be at least eight pages long and increase in length in four-page increments. Saddle stitching is a good choice for binding documents of up to 64-80 pages. Documents involving more pages or heavy material may demand some other type of binding.
