Introduction to Saddle-Stitched Magazines
At Print Custom Boxes UK, we produce high-quality Saddle-Stitched Magazines that offer a perfect balance between affordability and professional presentation. These magazines are bound using two or more staples through the spine, making them ideal for publications with lower page counts, such as corporate brochures, event programmes, product booklets, newsletters, and short-run editorials.
Saddle-stitching is a popular binding choice for both small businesses and large publishers because of its clean finish, durability, and fast turnaround time. Whether you’re creating a promotional piece, a seasonal fashion lookbook, or a creative zine, our saddle-stitched magazines provide excellent print clarity and customisation options to reflect your brand and engage your audience.
