Put your story in your customer’s hand with a slim, rack-ready booklet. DL saddle stitch brochures give menus, guides and company information room to breathe, with pages that turn in a clear sequence.
At 99mm × 210mm, DL is a tall, narrow format familiar from hotel lobbies, tourist information racks and estate agents’ displays. It fits neatly into a standard DL envelope, making it a practical choice for mailing too.
Saddle stitching secures the pages with staples along the fold, creating a compact booklet with up to 80 pages. Use it for treatment menus, property particulars, wine lists, corporate profiles and trail guides—wherever you need more space than a folded leaflet provides.
The slender page suits portrait layouts with strong vertical imagery. Landscape is also available for designs that benefit from a wide, letterbox shape.
Bring photography to life with full colour printing, choose Pantone matching for consistent brand colours, or keep things simple with black-only printing for text-heavy content such as timetables and guides.
Choose from four paper stocks:
Add cover lamination to help protect against everyday handling. Gloss and silk finishes keep colours lively, matt creates a muted appearance, soft-touch adds a velvety feel, and anti-scuff helps reduce visible wear on frequently handled copies.
For extra emphasis, use spot UV to highlight selected details with shine, or foiling to add a metallic accent.
Working to a deadline? Order express before 10am for delivery 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.
