Written by Tradeprint Blog | Nov 12, 2025 12:33:45 PM

When you want to showcase your work in a professional format, a sample saddle-stitched booklet is the perfect place to start. It allows you to experience your design, paper choice and finish before committing to a full print run.

What is a saddle-stitched booklet?

This type of booklet is made by folding sheets and securing them with staples along the spine. It’s ideal for short documents and ensures a clean, flat finish. 8-64 pages and up to 10 copies as a sample or the largest print run of 50,000, once you’re happy with your sample.

Why order a sample?

Ordering a single sample gives you confidence in print quality, layout, paper stock and binding. It’s an affordable way to check your design before large scale production.
