Short run saddle stitched booklet printing in Singapore — from 1 to 500 copies, with same-day options available on request. Orange Print’s short run booklet service is built for small-batch projects: event programmes, conference handouts, portfolios, proofs and limited-edition publications. We print booklets up to 44 pages, in standard sizes like A4 and A5 or custom sizes on request. Normal turnaround is 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval, and same-day turnarounds are available on urgent jobs when we confirm feasibility upfront.
A short run saddle stitched booklet is a booklet printed in a small quantity — typically between 1 and 500 copies — rather than the larger runs used for catalogues or corporate literature. Short runs are ideal when you need proofs before a bigger print, a handful of copies for an event or portfolio, or a limited-edition booklet where large quantities aren’t needed. At Orange Print, we produce short-run booklets up to 44 pages, in standard sizes like A4 and A5 or custom sizes on request.
From 1 copy up to 500 copies per order. If you need more than 500 copies, our standard saddle stitch booklet service is the better fit.
Up to 44 pages. Booklet page counts must be a multiple of four because each printed sheet folds to create four pages.
A4 (210 × 297 mm), A5 (148 × 210 mm), A6 (105 × 148 mm), square booklets, Letter size, or any custom size you specify in your artwork.
Standard cover stocks (250 to 310 gsm) and inner papers (80 to 128 gsm) in matte or gloss. Saddle stitching is the default binding — two staples through the spine fold. Let us know if you need matte lamination, gloss lamination or uncoated finishes.
Normal production time is 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval. Same-day turnaround is available on request — best suited for small quantities with print-ready artwork (CMYK, 300 dpi, 3 mm bleed). WhatsApp or email us with your specs before ordering so we can confirm same-day feasibility for your page count and finishing.

Get started:
Q. What counts as a “short run” booklet?
A. A short run is any quantity between 1 copy and 500 copies per order. If you need more than 500, we recommend our standard saddle stitch booklet service instead.
Q. How many pages can a short run booklet have?
A. Up to 44 pages. Page count must be a multiple of four because each printed sheet folds to create four pages. If your booklet needs more than 44 pages, contact us — we can recommend the right binding option.
Q. What sizes do you print short run booklets in?
A. Standard sizes are A4 (210 × 297 mm), A5 (148 × 210 mm) and A6 (105 × 148 mm). We also print square booklets, Letter size and any custom size you specify in your artwork.
Q. Can I get a short run booklet same-day?
A. Yes, same-day turnaround is available on request for urgent jobs. It works best for small quantities with print-ready artwork. Normal production time is 3 to 5 working days from artwork approval, and for same-day jobs we recommend WhatsApp or calling us first so we can confirm feasibility for your page count and finishing before you order.
Q. Why is the short run booklet “contact us for a quote” instead of an instant price?
A. Short run pricing depends on your specific mix of quantity, page count, paper, finishing and turnaround — and we want to get you the best price for your actual job rather than a one-size-fits-all default. Share your specs and we’ll respond with a quote, usually the same working day.
Q. Can I order just one booklet?
A. Yes — our short run service goes from 1 copy upwards. It’s useful for proofs, sample books and personal projects.
