Saddle stitching is one of the simplest binding techniques. It is also the most widely used. Folded signatures are placed over a "saddle" and then stapled along the spine. This style of binding is excellent for booklets, brochures, newsletters, pamphlets, direct mailers and catalogs.

Sizes can be from 50 x 45mm up to A3 portrait. Page numbers have to be in multiples of 4 to make the folded booklet. Pages are 8pp minimum up to 72pp maximum.
