Custom Magazine Bindings

While occasionally clients choose to “self-cover” their magazines, the binding you choose often reflects the genre, page numbers, reader expectations, and your available budget. The most popular options for newsstand quality magazines are “saddle stitching” and “perfect binding”.

Saddle-stitched

This means that we make the magazine of folded sheets stacked inside each other, typically with a cover sheet of glossy art paper, and then stapled together down the curved edge. The name comes from the original process of sewing the pages together with binding thread, but this is rare and mostly unnecessary these days. Saddle stitch binding is only functional with a page count divisible by four, up to a maximum of 64 pages. But to make sure the magazine is neat and lies flat, we recommend a limit of 48 pages or fewer for this style of binding.

Perfect bound 

This is the binding used for standard paperback books. We collate the interior pages into a block, glued together, and then glued into a wrap-around cover made of heavier art paper or lightweight card stock. This is far-and-away the best, most popular, and most cost-effective option for binding magazines which have over 48 pages or rely on high-definition photography on almost every page.

Self-covers are the most inexpensive option if you’re really squeezed. Saddle stitch is the next cheapest, but has limitations in terms of page counts. Perfect bound costs more in base price, but if your magazine has lots of photography—so needs thicker paper and more pages—it often works out less expensive. The final cost always depends on the materials, size, length, and number of copies printed in a single run.

Sizes of Magazine Printing

We can print any size magazine you want, but remember that unusual custom prints cost more than standard sizes because of the extra pre-press work and setup involved.

  • The standard, most common magazine sizes in the US are 8.5″ by 11″ and 5.5″ by 8.5″.
  • In Europe and Australia, the standard magazine sizes are 210 mm x 297 mm and 148 mm x 210 mm.

From a commercial perspective, it may be in your best interests to hold to these formats. They’re established, inexpensive, ideal for mailing, meet customer expectations, and reduce set-up time, leading to a faster turnaround. But you could also try a larger 7.3″ by 11″ tabloid magazine, or switch things up with a landscape rather than portrait orientation. If you want it, we’ll print it!
