Print consciously, make a lasting impression!
Overview of sustainable printing
You can reduce environmental impact without sacrificing quality by choosing sustainable printing solutions; look for offerings like 100% recycled paper, vegan inks and climate-neutral production such as those in the Print & Graphics GreenLine. These choices lower resource use and often improve brand perception because your materials communicate care for the planet as well as professional design.
Sustainable printing also cuts the risks associated with traditional processes: avoid suppliers who still use mineral oils, toxic heavy metals or high-VOC coatings, because those can contaminate recycling streams and pose health hazards. When you select certified recycled stocks and low-impact inks, you reduce waste and harmful emissions while keeping print quality high.
Importance of choices in printing materials
Your selection of paper, weight and finish determines both the look and the environmental footprint of your brochure. Choosing options like Premium White Circlesilk or bright recycled stocks gives you a professional finish while supporting sustainability; for covers, opting for a heavier 250 gsm recycled board increases durability and perceived value with minimal extra impact when sourced responsibly.
Ink and coating choices matter as much as paper: use vegan, mineral-oil-free inks and avoid solvent-heavy varnishes to keep your product recyclable and safer to handle. These material decisions influence printability, color fidelity and post-use recyclability—so align them with your distribution and end-of-life plans.
Beyond materials, verify production practices—look for renewable energy use, CO2-neutral certification and transparent supply chains to avoid greenwashing and ensure your printed brochures truly reflect your sustainability commitments.
Printing sustainable brochures with staple binding
Benefits of staple binding
Staple binding gives you a cost-effective and fast solution for brochures ranging from 8 to 100 pages, making it ideal when you need professional results without high production costs. The saddle-stitched centerfold lies flat for easy reading, and the method is lightweight for mailing and distribution, so your messages reach recipients efficiently.
You can add a four- or six-page cover for extra protection and a premium feel, and staples support quick turnaround and straightforward assembly when you scale runs up or down. For marketing brochures, product guides or event programs, staple binding is versatile, reliable and well-suited to frequent updates.
Eco-friendly materials used
The GreenLine range uses 100% recycled paper in options like Circleoffset White, Premium White and Premium White Circlesilk, with inner pages available in 130 or 170 gsm and covers in 250 gsm. Printing is done with vegan inks without mineral oils or toxic heavy metals, which reduces harmful residues and improves indoor and environmental safety.
Production is climate-neutral, powered by renewable energy sources and certified to minimise CO2 emissions, so you lower your carbon footprint while maintaining print quality. You can choose between black one-colour printing or full CMYK four-colour printing to match your brand’s visual needs.
Formats range from DIN A6 to DIN A4, the staple binding supports up to 100 pages, and the Circlesilk option gives you a silk-matt, high-end finish while remaining compatible with standard printers; you can also extend sustainability across your collateral by selecting other GreenLine products like perfect-bound brochures, postcards, flyers or posters to keep your entire suite eco-friendly.

Related products
You often pair saddle-stitched brochures with other GreenLine items such as GreenLine postcards, GreenLine flyers, GreenLine posters and perfect-bound GreenLine brochures to create a consistent, sustainable campaign. These alternatives use the same benefits you care about: 100% recycled paper, vegan inks and climate-neutral production, so your messaging stays environmentally responsible across formats.
If your brochure runs close to the upper limit of saddle-stitching, note that saddle staples are best for 8–100 pages with an optional four- or six-page cover on a 250 gsm stock; exceeding recommended thickness can lead to staple splitting or inner-page tearing, so you may prefer perfect binding for higher page counts or heavier covers.
Additional offerings
You can take advantage of design templates, professional preflight checks and free paper samples to be sure your final product looks and feels right; free paper samples let you test grain, color and finish before committing. Print & Graphics also offers layout advice so your saddle-stitched brochure has the correct margins and imposition for flawless folding.
Finishing options include folding, matte or silk coatings, variable-data printing and express production if you need a fast turnaround; choose express production cautiously when quality is paramount, and opt for sustainable finishes when you want to keep the GreenLine promise throughout the supply chain.
More detailed support covers color management, bleed and gutter recommendations—if you don’t allow sufficient inner margins for saddle stitching, your copy or images can be lost in the fold, which is a serious production risk; consult Print & Graphics for proofing options and to ensure your files use the correct profiles and bleed settings so you get predictable, high-quality results.
GreenLine - our sustainable product range
Overview of the GreenLine series
You want a brochure that reflects your values while delivering professional quality—GreenLine lets you do both. At Print & Graphics you choose from papers made of 100% recycled fibres, printed with vegan inks free of mineral oils and toxic heavy metals, and produced under climate-neutral conditions using renewable energy.
Your GreenLine stapled brochures are available in a wide range of page counts, formats and paper weights, so you can match visual impact with sustainability. You should note that certain surface treatments or plastic-based coatings can reduce recyclability; avoid those if you want fully closed-loop output.

Eco-friendly brochures in six different formats and paper thicknesses
Available formats
You can choose from six formats that cover everything from pocket-size handouts to large presentation pieces — for example: DIN A6, DL, DIN A5, DIN A4, DIN A3 and a square format. This range lets you match your brochure size to your distribution method: compact options for door drops, mid sizes for mailings and A4/A3 for high-impact presentations.
Your stapled brochure can be produced with 8–100 pages and an optional 4- or 6-page cover, giving you flexibility in structure and design. You can print in single-colour black or full CMYK, and the formats are chosen to work well with standard finishing and mailing processes so your final piece looks professional and performs reliably.
Paper thickness options
There are three sustainable paper types to choose from: Circleoffset White, Premium White and Premium White Circlesilk. For image-rich, upscale brochures the Circlesilk options are available in 130 or 170 gsm for the interior, while the cover stock is a sturdy 250 gsm. All papers are 100% recycled, printed with vegan inks and produced climate-neutral, so your choice supports genuine environmental benefits.
Be aware of practical limits: very thin interior stocks (e.g., 130 gsm) can show ink through on heavy double-sided printing and may feel less substantial; conversely, very heavy page counts or inappropriate thickness choices can strain stapled binding — staples may fail if you exceed recommended page ranges or combine very heavy covers with excessive pages. Choose paper and page count to match the use-case and durability you need.
For guidance: choose 130 gsm interior for economical flyers and high-volume handouts, 170 gsm for a more premium tactile quality and sharper image reproduction, and a 250 gsm cover for durability, mailing resilience and a professional finish. If your design includes full-bleed images or heavy ink coverage, lean toward the heavier or Circlesilk options to avoid show-through and ensure the best print fidelity for your brochure.
FAQ
Q: What is staple binding (saddle stitch) and how does it work?
A: Staple binding, also called saddle stitching, binds folded signatures (sheets) along the spine with metal staples. Sheets are nested inside one another so when folded the pages run in sequence. It is fast, economical and ideal for brochures that open flat and have up to about 100 pages.
Q: What page counts and cover options are available for stapled brochures?
A: Stapled brochures in the GreenLine range can be produced from 8 to 100 pages. You can choose an integrated cover in the same stock, and optionally select a four- or six-page cover construction for extra durability or design space. Note that total page counts for saddle-stitched work generally follow multiples of 4.
Q: Which paper types and grammages can I choose?
A: There are three recycled paper options: Circleoffset White and Premium White (bright white recycled stocks for standard printing), and Premium White Circlesilk (silk-matt picture paper). Inner pages are typically 130 or 170 gsm for Circlesilk; the cover uses the same paper family at 250 gsm for a firmer feel.
Q: Which formats and sizes are offered for stapled brochures?
A: Formats cover common brochure sizes and can be ordered for small handouts to larger presentations. Typical choices range from DIN A6 for compact advertising to DIN A4 for detailed product presentations; five common sizes are available and custom formats can be requested to suit layout and distribution needs.
Q: What printing options and sustainability features are available?
A: Printing is available in one-colour (black) or CMYK four-colour process. The GreenLine range uses 100% recycled papers, vegan inks from organic production (free of mineral oils and heavy metals), and climate-neutral production powered by renewable energy. These options are offered through Print & Graphics.
Q: How should I prepare my print files for staple-bound brochures?
A: Create your document as single pages or spreads in final trim size, include 3 mm bleed, keep important content inside a safe margin (about 5 mm), and ensure page count suits saddle stitching (multiple of 4). Export as a print-ready PDF (PDF/X recommended), embed fonts and images at 300 dpi, and supply cover artwork if using a separate cover layout (four- or six-page cover configuration).
Q: When is staple binding the best choice and what are its limitations?
A: Choose staple binding when you want a cost-effective, attractive brochure or booklet that opens flat and is durable for up to ~100 pages—ideal for catalogs, program booklets, and promotional brochures. It is not recommended for very thick volumes (where perfect binding is better) or for applications requiring a rounded spine or dense page counts beyond the saddle-stitch capacity.
