Saddle Stitched Book File Setup

Funeral Books use what is known as saddle stitched binding. This consists of a series of ‘spreads’ that are folding and stapled on the spine area.

– Artwork should be provided for the cover and the content in 1 pdf file.

– The artwork, including the cover, should be set up as separate, individual pages to the final size with 5mm of bleed and crop marks. Our printer software will set up the artwork to print as a booklet.

– Especially for thicker saddle stitched books, be sure to keep pages number and other content at least 10mm from the edges. The actual position of the page numbers is prone to shifting as the book becomes thicker.

– Ensure your text and images are at least 10mm from the spine area.

– As there are effectively 4 pages on each sheet or spread, the total page number of the book needs to be a multiple of four.

– Save and send your file as a PDF.

Paper Options & Page Numbers

The cover paper of a saddle stitched book can range from 80gsm to 350gsm, yet, it’s quite common for the cover to be thicker or heavier than the content.

For the content, the paper weight options depend on the thickness of the book. If the number is any more than 8 or 12, we would suggest that you don’t exceed more than 150gsm paper for the content.

Be sure to consult with a DInkums staff member on page maximums for heavier paper.

Booklet Sizes

The Funeral books we offer are the common A5 size – 210mm high x 148mm wide. However, our pricing structure will cater for slight variations of up to around 10mm.

We’re able to portait or landscape books, however, the most popular is portrait.
