Saddle Binding- Folded sheets of paper are gathered together and stapled magazine-style on the spine. This method allows the publication to open flat for ease of reading.
Side Stitching- Folded sheets, plus a cover, are laid on top of each other and stitched (i.e. stapled) on the side. When printed sheets are used, trimming is completed on three sides in a separate operation. This type of binding will produce a book that will not open flat.
