Question
What binding method is recommended for 250+ page booklets?
Answer
For thicker, higher-page-count booklets, perfect binding is recommended instead of saddle stitching. Once a booklet climbs past roughly 80 pages, staples struggle to hold the bulk cleanly, while a glued spine handles the thickness and gives a more professional finish.
| Page count | Recommended binding |
|---|---|
| Lower page counts | Saddle stitch |
| 80+ pages | Perfect bound |
- Perfect binding produces a flat, squared spine you can print a title on.
- It holds up better to repeated handling on thick books.
- Saddle stitch stays best for slimmer pieces.
For a 250-page book, plan on perfect binding and confirm the maximum page thickness on the product page.
