Do loop-stitched booklets need drilling?

No. Each stitch forms a small eye on the spine that hooks straight onto the binder's rings, so there are no holes to drill.

Do the page count rules change?

No. It's still a saddle stitch, so pages run in multiples of 4. Tell us the binder's ring size and spacing so the loops line up.

Loop stitching · questions

What people ask first.

What moves the price

01Quantity: makeready is the same for 500 books or 50,000, so unit cost falls fast with volume
02Page count: every 4 pages adds a sheet to gather, and heavy books need more pockets
03Cover stock: heavy or coated covers are scored first so the spine doesn't crack
04Extras: inserts, loop stitches or a tipped-on card

Stitch process

All 5 on the Stitch page

Corner stitching

Flat sets held together with one wire stitch through the corner: reports, price lists, handouts and meeting packets that stay loose-leaf, with no fold and no page-count rule.
