Custom Magazine Printing
Printed magazines provide a strong platform for presenting your brand identity, values, products and services to a wider audience. They can also create revenue opportunities through advertising space, subscriptions and sponsored content.
Saddle-Stitched Magazine Production
This format is particularly suitable for publications containing between 8 and 64 pages. The printed sheets are folded and stapled along the central fold, creating a neat, professional booklet that resembles an open saddle.
Customisation Options
Create a magazine tailored to your requirements with:
- Custom sizes from A6 to A4
- A broad choice of internal paper stocks
- Multiple cover paper options
- Six cover-lamination finishes
Adding lamination can improve durability, enhance the appearance and help your magazine make a more memorable impression.
Minimum Order Quantities
- A4 and A5 magazines in portrait or landscape can be ordered from just one copy.
- Other sizes are available from one copy when selecting a 130 gsm or 170 gsm self-cover.
- All remaining options have a minimum order quantity of 25 copies.

Preparing Design Files for Magazine Printing
For additional assistance with magazine printing, visit the booklet-help section of our Resource Hub.
Magazines are produced using saddle-stitched binding. Submit the complete artwork as one PDF, with every page arranged in consecutive reading order from the front cover through to the back cover.
For example, a 40-page magazine should be supplied as follows:
- Page 1: Front cover
- Pages 2–39: Internal pages in sequence
- Page 40: Back cover
File Requirements
- The total page count must be divisible by four.
- Keep all text, page numbers and images away from the page edges.
- Maintain a safe zone of at least 5 mm on every side.
- A 10 mm safe zone is preferred for a better finished result.
- Add 3 mm of bleed around all sides.
- Supply the artwork as a CMYK PDF.
- Outline or embed all fonts.
- Prepare the file at 300 dpi.
