Great saddle-stitch booklet

Feb 16, 2026 | Jeanne P. | Verified Buyer
The quality and turn around time were great. Unfortunately, the packaging was not sturdy enough and left a crease in my booklet.

bleed settings are off

Feb 15, 2026 | Laela W. | Verified Buyer
Printing looks fine and as expected in general but on the pages where I have a bleed, the printing is off and you can see white. The pages are not perfectly lined up. You can see white on bottom and left of page.
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are glad to know the overall printing met your expectations. However, we truly regret that the bleed areas did not print as intended and that white edges are visible on the pages. In addition, we understand how important clean, precise trimming and alignment are especially when working with full-bleed designs we apologise for the disappointment this has caused. To allow us to investigate this thoroughly, please reply to our email with clear photos of the received saddle-stitch booklets, particularly close-up images of the pages where the white edges are visible. Once we receive the photos, we will review the issue with our production teams for further review. If your request is urgent and you need an immediate solution, please reach out to our Customer Support team via 1.866.207.4955.

Never Received Package

Feb 13, 2026 | Ryan C.
Urgent: Claim Incorrectly Closed – Tracking #1ZJ2040W0332526887 Hello, I am writing regarding Tracking Number 1ZJ2040W0332526887 and the recent notice stating that the claim has been closed due to confirmed delivery. I want to clearly state that I did not confirm delivery, nor did I receive this package. In fact, I previously sent written communication stating that I had not received the shipment and would likely need to reorder the items due to non-delivery. The notice indicating that delivery was “confirmed by Ryan Cummings” is inaccurate. I did not provide any confirmation that the package was delivered. Given this error, I am requesting that this claim be immediately reopened and formally investigated. Please advise what steps are required to reopen the claim and initiate reimbursement for a package that was not received. This situation is extremely concerning, and I would appreciate prompt clarification and resolution. Thank you, Ryan Cummings
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:

Saddle stitched means that the booklets are bound with staples. Perfect bound booklets, on the other hand, are bound with glue. Saddle-stitch booklets are considered low-cost and durable, a straightforward choice for an assortment of projects or business needs – we particularly recommend them for price lists, product catalogs, event programs, brochures, pamphlets and magazines. They also work well for restaurants or cafes in need of longer, more detailed menus.

Your stapled booklets can include 8-76 pages – this includes 4 cover pages (front cover, inside front cover, back cover and inside back cover). For example, an 8-page booklet = 4 cover pages + 4 inside pages. You can increase or decrease a stapled booklet’s page count in increments of 4: 12 pages, 16 pages, 20 pages, etc.

No, you’re not required to - you’ll just need to include blank pages in your print-ready PDF. But if you’d like to utilize all the space and add content to all 4 cover pages, you’re welcome to do that, too.

Yes – for a successful print, we recommend following these design tips and upload specifications.

  • Format: Your file needs to be in PDF format – without password protection.

  • Layout: Your file should include single pages, each arranged in the correct reading order. Make sure your file includes all of your pages – including 4 cover pages.

  • Blank Pages: If you want blank inside cover pages, make sure you include blank pages within your PDF file.

  • Colors: Stapled booklets are printed in CMYK. Images provided in RGB or PANTONE colors will be converted.

  • Resolution: 300dpi is the required resolution for stapled booklets. Lower resolutions may affect the printing quality.

  • Bleeds: For an accurate print, include a 1/8" (0.125 in) bleed on every side of every page. If you encounter file upload issues, double-check your bleed – it may exceed the accepted ±0.125 threshold.

  • Margins: Keep all text at least 1 cm from the margins. Anything closer may be too close to the edge (or the binding) to easily read.

We don’t offer proofs, but you can order a single booklet to see how your design turns out before ordering a higher quantity.
