Saddle-stitched booklets are created by folding sheets of paper in half and stapling them along the fold line, creating a booklet. Square fold stitched booklets, also known as faux perfect bound booklets, mimic the appearance of perfect binding but are created by folding and stitching the pages together. The binding capacity for both types of booklets depends on the paper weight and thickness. As a general guideline, saddle-stitched booklets can typically accommodate a minimum of 8 pages and a maximum of 64 pages, while square fold stitched booklets can usually handle a minimum of 4 pages and a maximum of 60 pages. However, these limits may vary based on the specific paper weight used.

There are several types of folds commonly used in printing, including:

• Bi-fold: A single fold that divides the paper into two equal sections.
• Tri-fold: Two parallel folds that divide the paper into three sections, with each section folding over the other.
• Z-fold: Alternating folds in a zigzag pattern, resulting in an accordion-like fold.
• French fold: The paper is folded in half vertically and then horizontally, resulting in four panels.

These are just a few examples, and there are other specialized folds available depending on your specific needs.

UV ink refers to a type of ink that is cured using ultraviolet (UV) light. Unlike traditional inks that dry through absorption or evaporation, UV inks harden instantly when exposed to UV light, resulting in a fast and durable print.
