TYPES OF STITCHING & BINDING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

SADDLE STITCHING<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Common and economical, saddle stitching is one binding method. Created by punching wire through the documents outside spine, then bending the wire flat on the inside centre fold to grip all the pages. It may provide a similar look, but is\u00a0not the same as stapling.<\/p>\nChoosing the Right Binding Type – Designers Insights<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

LOOP STITCHED <\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Similar to saddle stitching, but with a different effect. Loops are created with wire along the external spine in order to insert and secure the document into a 3-ring binder. Great option for information installments that can be added to larger collection.<\/p>\nChoosing the Right Binding Type – Designers Insights<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

STAB OR SIDE STITCHED<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

SEWN BOUND<\/mark><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\n

Similar to saddle stitching, but uses thread instead of wire. Thread is stitched along the entire spine. As more pages are added it begins to closely resemble case binding, but without the hardcover.<\/p>\nChoosing the Right Binding Type – Designers Insights<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
