Saddle-stitched magazine — Imperial Print

Product description

Saddle-stitched magazine printing

A saddle-stitched magazine consists of printed sheets folded together and secured with metal staples through the centre fold. It opens comfortably, remains compact and offers an efficient production method for magazines with a moderate page count.

The format is used for corporate editions, seasonal catalogues, promotional magazines, menus, portfolios, conference publications and educational material. Full-colour printing is available throughout, and a heavier cover can be added for a more substantial finish.

Technical preparation

The page count must normally be divisible by four. Submit the publication as individual pages in reading order; imposition is completed during production. Keep text away from trim and fold lines, add bleed and use high-resolution images. We will verify pagination and account for page creep before printing.
