Premium stapled booklet printing online

Product specifications & rapid turnaround
We pride ourselves on offering flexible options that never compromise on durability or print sharp accuracy. When you order your stapled booklets with us, you can choose from premium paper types to perfectly suit your style and budget.
Our inner pages can be configured using a range of paperweights for different applications, from a lightweight 90 gsm or 100 gsm uncoated paper that’s perfect for a natural, writable finish, up to 200 gsm for a supremely durable booklet.
Key technical specifications and options include:
- Standard dimensions: Available in portrait and landscape formats including classic A4, practical A5, and pocket-sized A6, alongside standard square sizes.
- Page count flexibility: Minimum of 8 double-sided pages, up to a maximum of 76 pages (or 64 pages with a premium card cover). The total number of pages must always be a multiple of 4 to accommodate the folding and saddle stitch process.
- Cover upgrades & embellishments: Choose a heavy 300 gsm card cover with optional matt or glossy lamination for structural protection.
- Artwork setup: Simply upload your design as a single sequential PDF (avoid double-page spreads). For flawless edge-to-edge printing, please include a 3mm bleed on all sides and trim lines to avoid vital text getting hidden in the fold.
We understand that timing is everything. That’s why Doxzoo offers ultra-fast turnaround options. Need your booklets immediately? Select our same day or next day production. Running on a tighter budget? Choose our 5-day production schedule for the absolute cheapest rates.
High-impact use cases for businesses and creatives
Custom saddle-stitched materials are highly versatile, serving diverse audiences from corporate marketing teams to local independent creators:
- Corporate marketing & sales: Businesses rely on a polished corporate brochure or a vibrant product catalogue to capture leads at trade exhibitions. A beautifully printed brochure leaves a tactile, lasting impression that digital ads simply cannot replicate.
- Event coordinators & local communities: Organisers use our swift service to print time-sensitive event programmes, festival guides, or charity newsletters. Because we have no minimum order quantity, community groups can order the exact amount they need without wasting budget.
- Educational institutes & independent creators: From a step-by-step training manual to an artistic zine or comic book, the flat-opening nature of a stapled spine means readers can easily study or enjoy the content.

High page count?
If your page count is higher than our maximum for booklet printing, we recommend paperback book printing instead.
- Booklet artwork should be set-up as single pages, not spreads.
- Page count must be a multiple of 4 (e.g. 8, 16, 24, 40 etc.). If not, blanks will be added.
- Minimum page count is 5 (+3 blanks = 8 pages)
- Square back and/or landscape booklets are not available for collection orders.
- If you order card covers in colour, pages 1 and 2 and the last 2 pages of your file will be printed on card and in colour.
By default, page 1 will be your front cover and the last page will be your back cover.
Example - 40 page booklet:
Page 1: front cover
Page 2: inside front cover
Page 3: first right hand page
Page 4-5: double page spread
Page 39: inside back cover
Page 40: back cover

Stapled booklet printing: frequently asked questions
Have a question about stapled booklet printing? Keep reading for answers to some of the most common queries!
There is no difference! A saddle stitched booklet and a stapled booklet refer to the exact same binding method. The document pages are nested together, folded down the centre line, and secured with two staples along the spine crease.
Your overall stapled booklet printing cost depends entirely on your chosen dimensions, the number of pages, paper types, and your selected production speed. For cheap stapled booklet printing with UK-wide delivery, we recommend selecting our budget-friendly 90 gsm uncoated inner pages, omitting lamination, and selecting our standard 5-day turnaround time at checkout. Don’t forget, you can get an instant, transparent quote on our website before ordering.
Please upload your artwork as a single, multi-page PDF file in chronological reading order (Page 1 as the front cover, Page 2 as the inside front cover, etc.). Do not upload your file as printer spreads. Ensure your design incorporates a 3mm bleed area around the perimeter to prevent any unwanted white borders during the automated trimming process.
The total number of pages must always be a multiple of 4 (e.g., 8, 12, 16, 20 pages, up to a maximum of 76). This is because each physical sheet of paper is folded in half during production to create 4 individual pages. If your content doesn't naturally fit a multiple of 4, you can simply add blank pages at the back cover or inner sections to complete the layout.
Not at all! At Doxzoo, we have no minimum order restrictions, meaning you can order a single copy to check the finish before committing to a larger run. This print-on-demand flexibility makes it easy to update a training manual or newsletter without being left with outdated, wasted stock.
