Look Book Printing for Sabah: Saddle-Stitched Fashion Booklets by an NYC Print Shop that Brands Trust

In the fashion world, presentation is everything. A beautifully produced lookbook doesn’t just showcase a collection—it tells a story, sets a tone, and drives wholesale demand. That’s why look book printing remains one of the most important tools in fashion printing today.

For their Spring & Summer collection, Sabah partnered with Bestype, an NYC print shop that brands rely on, to produce high-quality, custom saddle-stitched booklets under a tight deadline—without compromising on color or craftsmanship.

About Sabah

Sabah is an independent New York City–based brand known for its handmade leather shoes and global collaborations with skilled craftspeople. Founded in 2013, Sabah blends timeless design with artisanal production, creating footwear that feels both personal and enduring.

For a brand rooted in craftsmanship, every printed piece must reflect the same level of care and attention to detail.

The Project: Custom Fashion Look Book Printing

Bestype was selected to handle the look book printing and binding for Sabah’s seasonal collection—an essential asset used to generate wholesale interest and support sales meetings.

Key Requirements:

• Custom size: 10” wide × 5.6” high (landscape format)
  
• 16-page booklet
  
• Vibrant, accurate color reproduction for bright footwear designs
  
• Cost-effective binding method
  
• Physical printed and bound proof required before approval
  
• Final delivery within one week
  

This project combined the precision of high-end fashion printing with the speed and efficiency required for a fast-moving sales cycle.

How We Produced the Saddle-Stitched Booklets

Sabah provided a fully print-ready, single-page PDF file with correct pagination, bleed, crop marks, and high-resolution imagery—allowing for a smooth and efficient production workflow.

Printing & Materials:

• Cover: 100# gloss cover (durable, medium-weight cardstock)
  
• Interior pages: 100# gloss text (lighter weight for easy page turns)
  
• Press: 4-color digital printing on our Ricoh Pro C7500
  

This combination ensured vibrant color reproduction while maintaining a premium feel in hand.

Binding:

The booklet was finished with saddle-stitch binding, a clean, minimalist, and cost-effective solution ideal for 16-page fashion lookbooks. This format keeps pages flat and readable—perfect for showcasing wide, landscape imagery.

Quality Control:

From file intake to final trim, every stage of the project underwent rigorous quality checks to ensure color accuracy, alignment, and finishing precision.

Fast Turnaround Without Compromising Quality

After the first round of printed proofs, Sabah requested last-minute content updates—a common reality in fashion printing. Bestype quickly implemented the changes and produced a second proof for approval.

Despite the revision cycle, the project stayed on schedule. The final saddle-stitched booklets were completed on time and made available for pickup at our conveniently located Manhattan facility.

The Result: High-Impact Look Books Ready for Sales

The finished lookbooks delivered exactly what Sabah needed:

• Rich, vibrant color that accurately reflects their footwear
  
• A sleek, modern landscape format
  
• Durable yet lightweight construction
  
• Professional presentation for wholesale meetings
  With these custom look books, Sabah was fully equipped to present their Spring & Summer collection with confidence and clarity.
