A4 saddle stitch brochures are a cost-effective way to put your products, services and price lists directly into your customers’ hands. With space for detailed information and full-page imagery, they’re a practical choice for product catalogues, event programmes, company profiles and price guides.
Saddle stitching secures the pages with two wire staples along the spine. It keeps costs low and allows the brochure to open easily for comfortable reading. This binding works well for brochures of up to around 64 pages, depending on paper weight.
Choose portrait or landscape to suit your layout. Full colour printing brings photography and branded designs to life, while Pantone matching helps maintain consistent corporate colours. Black only printing is a sensible option for text-heavy manuals or tighter budgets.
Pick a paper stock to match your brochure:
Protect and enhance your cover with matt, gloss, silk, soft-touch or anti-scuff lamination. Soft-touch adds a premium feel, while anti-scuff helps reduce visible wear from frequent handling. Add spot UV highlights or foiling to draw attention to logos, headlines or other design details.
Choose free standard delivery when time allows. For a closer deadline, select express delivery and order before 10am to receive your brochures within 3 or 5 working days, depending on the option selected.

Saddle stitching is a bookbinding method which is very similar to stapling. This method assembles brochure pages by first nesting several folded double-leaf spreads on top of each other (starting with the middlemost pages and finishing with the outer cover leaf).
The brochure pages are then stitched together by threading lengths of metal wire (similar to staples) through all pages along the central crease line.
Saddle-stitched brochures are cost-effective to produce, and can be laid fairly flat while open; which means the inner edge of the print won’t get lost in the spine area of the brochure. The latter also makes them ideal for hands-free publications, such as instruction booklets and guides.
You can view our page count options in the table below. Each paper sheet (or ‘leaf’) of your brochure will have two printed pages (pp); one on each side of the paper. Brochure covers consist of four pages, and are included in addition to the page counts listed in the table below.
If you’re still unsure about page counts, or you need a different number of pages to the options here, call us on 023 8087 8037 to discuss your requirements.
Saddle-stitched brochures are available in the following standard sizes. Please note that these measurements refer to the size of the brochure when closed:

The right print method will depend on a number of factors; including the product type, quantity and turnaround time you require.
Better Printing can produce your order on either litho or digital, with both available in-house. Our sales team can recommend the most cost-effective solution for your needs and will confirm your preferred method before going to print.
All brochures and booklets are produced in portrait orientation (with the spine located on the longer edge of the booklet) by default. Alternatively, you can specify landscape orientation for your brochures if needed at the checkout stage.
We recommend supplying artwork as single pages in the same order as you want them to appear in the finished brochure. Please avoid supplying your artwork in printer’s pairs or double page spreads, as this may extend production times of your print order.
