printing and saddle stitch binding solutions

Saddle Stitched

A booklet binding method which inserts one folded signature into another, then fastens the signatures with wires through the center fold of the gathered signatures. It may be a self covered publication (same paper stock as text ) or with a separate cover. Less expensive then adhesive binding.

Applications:
