Saddle-stitched magazine printing for businesses, events and editorial projects

Saddle-stitched magazines are a professional, lightweight and versatile way to present content in a clear sequence. Use them for product catalogues, business dossiers, event programmes, company reports, association magazines, educational publications, detailed brochures or property presentations. Two staples along the spine allow comfortable reading and a neat finish without the bulk of hard binding.

Configure your magazine to suit your content. Choose format, page count, inside paper weight, a separate cover and the required finish. Prices update automatically so you can compare options without waiting for a manual quote.

CatalogsMagazinesProgramsDossiersCompany reportsBrochures
Three publishing formats

Customized A5, A4 and A3 magazines

A5 · 14.8 × 21 cm

Manageable magazines, programs and editorial brochures.

A4 · 21 × 29.7 cm

Catalogues, company reports and corporate magazines.

A3 · 29.7 × 42 cm

Publications with a high visual impact.

The A5 is comfortable to hand out and transport; the A4 offers a familiar and balanced surface for commercial information; the A3 multiplies the impact of photographs, plans, infographics and visual compositions. The configurator’s illustrations maintain the real proportions between formats to help you compare.

Balanced interior

130 or 170 g/m² coated paper

The 130 g/m² interior reduces weight and works very well in publications with many pages. The 170 g/m² interior provides more body, opacity and presence, especially in visual catalogs or medium-length magazines. Both are printed in full color on both sides.

Cover with presence

Optional cover of 250, 300 or 350 g/m²

A thicker cover protects the publication and makes a strong first impression. Use the same stock as the inside pages or choose 250, 300 or 350 g/m² for the cover. Matt lamination gives a soft feel and reduces reflections; scratch-resistant matt offers extra durability for frequent use.

Well-prepared color

Professional CMYK printing on both sides

Prepare photos, illustrations and backgrounds in CMYK for predictable results. Use images at 300 dpi at final size, correctly specified blacks, embedded fonts and consistent colour profiles. Each size has a dedicated DTS template.

Do not impose pages or supply printer's spreads. Supply consecutive single pages from front to back cover. The total must be a multiple of four because each folded sheet produces four pages.
