Stapled Booklets

Stapled Booklet Printing in Croydon and London

Stapled Booklets are affordable and professional, if you're putting together an event programme, a company profile, a school newsletter or a run of product catalogues, we print and finish every booklet with care, no shortcuts. We keep it simple, honest, and high-quality.

We've worked with schools, startups, design agencies, charities and local councils, they all want fast and reliable saddle stitched booklets.

What Are Stapled Booklets?

You've probably used one before, a stapled booklet also known as saddle stitched, is just a stack of folded pages, stapled along the spine. Clean, tidy and budget-friendly. It's a go-to for things like training manuals, church booklets, price lists, course guides or even instruction manuals.

They're ideal for documents up to 72 pages. Beyond that, you'll want to look at perfect binding but for most local businesses and schools, stapled is spot on.

We offer a bunch of different sizes to suit your content. If you're not sure what's best, we'll help you figure it out.

Lamination

Not every job needs lamination, but when you want your booklet to look polished or hold up over time, it's a great finishing touch — especially for covers.

Your Lamination Options:

• No lamination – Keeps it natural and recyclable
• Gloss lamination (1 or 2 sides) – Adds a shine, boosts colour
• Matte lamination (1 or 2 sides) – Smooth and understated
• Soft touch lamination (1 or 2 sides) – Velvety feel, feels premium

Gloss is bold and bright, matte is elegant, and soft touch is that fancy texture you find on high-end brochures. We can help you choose what works for your design.

Binding Edge, Long or Short?

This just refers to where the staples go.

• Long edge bound – Opens like a book (most common)
• Short edge bound – Opens upwards like a calendar or landscape layout

Most people go with a long edge, especially for portrait booklets in Croydon but if you're doing a landscape-style brochure, the short edge works beautifully.

Turnaround Times, Need It Fast?

We know how tight deadlines can get — and we don't make you wait longer than needed. We offer two clear turnaround options:

• 1 working day – For urgent jobs or last-minute changes
• 3–4 working days – Ideal for standard or bulk orders

We've printed same-day stapled booklets for Croydon schools, and we've also handled large catalogue runs for London businesses in just a few days. If you're in a rush, we'll do what we can.

Covers, Go Light or Go Bold

You can keep the same paper throughout your booklet or choose a thicker cover to make an impression. Here are your cover options:

• 90gsm uncoated – Lightweight, simple
• 115–170gsm (silk, gloss, or uncoated) – Thin but solid
• 250gsm (silk or uncoated) – Most popular for durable covers
• 350gsm silk – Heavy-duty, high-end finish

Pair a 350gsm cover with matte lamination and maybe even foil? You'll have a booklet that turns heads. Great for catalogues, price lists, and company brochures in Croydon and beyond.

Number of Pages, Keep It in Fours

Stapled booklets must have page counts in multiples of 4. That's just how the folding and stitching works.

Page Options:

8pp, 12pp, 16pp, all the way up to 72pp

Each “pp” is a printed page (not a sheet). So an 8pp booklet has 2 folded sheets (8 sides). Need help planning your layout? We'll make it easy.

Add Embellishment, Make It Pop

Want your logo to shine or titles to stand out? We offer spot UV and foil options to add a premium touch.

Embellishment Options:

• No embellishment
• Spot UV (high or low build, single or double sided)

Used well, embellishments can make your company profile booklet in Croydon feel like a premium brochure, without breaking the budget.
