BOUND-IN INSERTS FOR SADDLE STITCHED PUBLICATIONS


All stitched bound-in inserts must have a provision for a minimum binding lap and a head trim, alternatively a tail trim if it is to be bound to the foot of the product. Please speak to your Account Manager regarding the dimensions and trims required.


5mm Head Trim


Single page inserts can be accepted in paper weights from 80gsm to 300gsm but must have the correct head trim and a binding guard. The guard should be at least a third of the full trim width (e.g. 70mm for an A4 page size) .


3mm


Binding Lap


Example only:


When knocked to the head the binding lap will appear on the back half of the insert or at the front if knocked to the foot, this enables the binding machine to open the insert at the centre and place it on the stitching saddle. 4pp inserts appearing in the centre of the magazine should be a minimum paper weight of 80gsm.


The binding guard is required to hold the insert on the stitching saddle during collation. Single page inserts can only appear in the second half of the magazine. Inserts which are intended to be the same size as the finished magazine will require provision for an additional trim (minimum 5mm) on both the foredge and the tail to allow them to trim cleanly to size as the magazine is trimmed.


Inserts which are intended to be smaller than the trimmed size of the magazine in which they appear, (minimum size 100x75mm), must be pre-trimmed, except the head trim, before collating.
