Forty pages is the practical limit for saddle stitching - ten folded sheets stapled at the spine. It's a substantial booklet that sits at the boundary between saddle stitch and perfect binding. If your content genuinely fills 40 pages it'll feel like a serious document - but if you're pushing to reach this count it's worth asking whether a 32-pager with tighter editing does the job better. We print everything in-house so if you're on the fence between 40pp saddle stitch and perfect binding, just ask - we can talk through what works best for your job.
Common uses: comprehensive training manuals, large product catalogues, detailed annual reports, substantial conference materials.
Also available as a 40-page A5 booklet — same page count in a compact, pocketable format.
