Saddle binding
Saddle binding, also called saddle-stitch binding, is the simplest binding method. In Saddle binding, the signatures
are folded together as a group, and then stapled or stitched along the center fold, or spine. In Saddle booklets, creep
is a factor.
Saddle binding includes pre-printed and inline cover options.
