Perfect Bound Booklets
Payment Methods:
Present your extensive documents with absolute precision. Perfect Bound Booklets offer a highly sophisticated, architectural binding method that transforms a standard brochure into a premium paperback book.
We manufacture these books using a highly precise two-step process. First, we stack and trim your inner pages. We then apply a strong, flexible adhesive along the spine edge and wrap the heavy outer cover directly around the glue block. This creates a flat, squared-off spine that you can print text directly onto, making your catalogues easily identifiable on a bookshelf.
Tailor your book perfectly to your brand. Choose from 12 internal paper stocks and 7 distinct cover stocks. Protect the flat spine from cracking by adding our Soft Touch, Matt, or Gloss lamination to the outer cover. Order standard A6 to A4 footprints or specify custom dimensions.
Follow these exact file requirements to ensure your Perfect Bound Booklets print and bind flawlessly.
-
Two-File Upload: You must submit TWO separate PDF files.
-
File 1 (Cover): Submit the cover as a single, continuous 2-page spread. Page 1 is the outside (Back Cover + Spine + Front Cover). Page 2 is the inside (Inside Front + Inside Spine + Inside Back). You must use our Spine Width Calculator to size the spine perfectly based on your paper stock and page count.
-
File 2 (Inners): Submit your internal pages as a single PDF of individual pages running in sequential order.
-
Page Count: Your inner page total must be divisible by 4. Minimum 40 pages, maximum 240 pages (including covers).
-
The Glue Margin (Crucial): Perfect bound books do not lay completely flat. Do not place critical text or crossover images across the center spine. Furthermore, you must leave a 6mm blank, unprinted strip on the inside cover (on both sides of the spine fold) so the hot glue can adhere directly to the paper fibers.
