\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Can use a self or separate cover.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nLimitations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Longevity. Not recommended for pieces intended for heavy use.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Lacks printable spine.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Not possible to bind in a single leaf of paper [as in perfect binding], but single leaves canbe stitched into a saddle stitched book if it has a 3.5\u2033 inch flap, or extension.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Thickness limitations. Documents thicker than 0.25\u2033 inch may require another binding technique.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 May require special design adjustments for creep, especially small formats with high page counts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
THE PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Signatures are folded with a bind fold [a fold in the paper, which allows a mechanicalor suction device to find the center].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Signatures are opened with suction cups or mechanical grippers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Open signatures are hung over a chain or \u201csaddle.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The signatures may then be transferred to succeeding feeding stations. This is howsaddle stitched signatures are inserted into each other.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Covers are scored and folded on the saddle stitching machine. Then they are laidon top of the signature[s].<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The product is stitched through the fold, trimmed on three sides.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
