Saddle stitch binding

If you are seeking a saddle stitch book manufacturer, Book1One is a great choice!

Our saddle stitch book binding process is an ideal method and a popular choice for anyone wishing to produce items such as saddle stitched booklets, notebooks, workbooks, catalogs, promotional books, event programs, coloring books and other smaller publications where an inexpensive, yet professional look is desired.
 
Many organizations have found saddle stitching  to be perfect for materials used in workshops, seminars and promotional events.

There is no stitches in saddle stitch binding. Rather, the books are designed in increments of four pages created from single sheets of paper, printed on both sides and then folded in half. Pages are then aligned, placed in page number order, folded, and then stapled on the fold.

[Please note that the maximum number of pages for saddle stitch books is 48 pages. If you wish to create a book with a landscape orientation, your book page size must be 5 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches. A portrait page orientation does not have this limitation.]


Preparing Your Document

Pages:

Because of the triming process, please allow a 1/2' margin on the binding edge of each page and at least a 1/4" margin at the top, bottom and outside edge of the page.

Book1One works exclusively with PDF files. Creating a PDF is very easy and can be done two different ways:

        1. You can convert your document to PDF using your own PDF converter
            either online or as a print driver on your own computer. When
            converting to PDF, please maintain the "highest resolution" and make
            sure the fonts are embedded.

        2. Book1One's online-ordering system allows you to upload many 
            different file formats. This system will convert your file to a print-ready
            PDF. Please be sure to completely review your file on the "approve
            page" as this is the file that will print.

  Cover:  

  Because (as mentioned above)
  the page count for a saddle stitch
  book must be in multiples of four,
  the first page in your book file
  should be your front cover, and
  the last page should be the
  outside back cover.
