Saddle Stitch Booklets in Croydon and London
Smart, tidy, and built to make your message stick.
Saddle stitch booklets are the perfect choice when you need something sharp, simple and professional. If it's a training guide, product catalogue, school newsletter or a local event programme, stitched booklets get the job done without overcomplicating things.
At I You Print, we specialise in saddle stitched booklet printing in Croydon and across London, helping local businesses, charities, schools and creatives produce booklets that look great, feel right and show off their content the way it deserves. If you're looking for stitched brochures or booklet binding services in London or South London, you've found your local team.
What Are Saddle Stitch Booklets?
Saddle stitched booklets are made by folding printed sheets in half and stapling them along the fold to create a spine. It's a simple, strong, and popular way to bind booklets. This method is great for things like brochures, programmes, price lists and small magazines. It keeps your pages tidy, easy to read and gives the finished booklet a clean, professional look.
Simple, neat and cost-effective, these booklets are a go-to for most printed jobs. And when printed properly, they give off a polished, professional finish that holds up well even with regular use.
If you've got something to say, teach, sell or share, this format just works.
Sizes That Suit Your Content
Choosing the right size can help your message land better. We offer a full range of booklet sizes to fit your layout, visuals, and purpose. If you're working on a product catalogue in South London or a school project booklet near Croydon, we've got your format ready.
Available Sizes:
- A4 Portrait
- A4 Landscape
- A5 Portrait
- A5 Landscape
- A6 Portrait
- DL Portrait
- 148mm Square
- 210mm Square
If it's A4 saddle stitched booklets or A5 stitched brochures in Croydon, we'll guide you to the format that fits.
If you are still unsure, pop into the shop or give us a ring, we'll help you find the right fit.
Page Count, Stick to Fours
Saddle stitch booklets always follow a multiple of four pages, that's just how they're folded and stitched. If you're putting together a small 8-page brochure or a full 48-page catalogue, we'll help you plan it properly.
Available Page Counts:
8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40, 44, 48
Each “page” is a printed side, not a sheet. So, for example, a 12-page booklet is made up of 3 folded sheets (12 printed sides). Need help setting it up? We'll make it easy.
Paper Types, It's All About the Feel
The feel of your booklet says a lot about your brand. We stock a wide range of paper types, so you can choose exactly what works for your project.
Inner Page Paper Options:
- 90gsm Premium Smooth White
- 115gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk Finish)

- 170gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk Finish)
- 170gsm Premium Smooth White
You don't have to worry, if you're not sure which to pick, we'll show you samples and help you decide what feels right.
Covers, Go Thin or Go Bold
You can choose to keep your booklet uniform front to back, or give it a thicker cover for a more solid, premium impression. We've got a wide range of cover options to match the tone of your design.
Cover Paper Options Include:
All the inner paper stocks, plus:
- 200gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk)
- 250gsm Art Paper (Gloss, Silk, or Uncoated)
- 300gsm Premium Smooth White

Want your booklet to feel like a product worth keeping? A 250gsm or 350gsm cover with lamination might be the perfect finishing touch.
Lamination Options, Add Durability and Style
Lamination gives your covers a bit of extra protection, along with a finish that changes the look and feel of the booklet. Whether you want a high-gloss shine or a premium matte feel, we've got options.
Lamination Options:
- None – Keeps things recyclable and simple
- One side or both sides (Gloss) – Vibrant colour, slick finish
- One side or both sides (Matte) – Smooth, elegant and less reflective
- One side or both sides (Soft-Touch) – Velvety texture, ultra-premium
Gloss is perfect for photo-heavy designs or product catalogues. Matte and soft-touch give your booklet a classy, understated feel.
