When your document is too thick for saddle-stitching, perfect bound book printing becomes the ideal solution for businesses and trade customers across the UK. This method involves binding the pages together using a strong adhesive along the spine, resulting in a neat and professional finish that is perfect for various applications, including reports, magazines, and brochures.
Perfect bound printing is widely used for thicker documents, making it suitable for magazines, catalogues, brochures, reports, and other publications. This technique allows for a polished look that appeals to customers and enhances the overall presentation of your material. Ideal for marketing materials, educational texts, corporate publications and product catalogues, perfect bound books can help you make a lasting impression.
For best results, it's crucial to design your document with a 12mm safe area at the spine edge of the first and last text pages, as well as the inside front and back covers. This consideration helps prevent important content from being lost in the binding process and ensures that your design looks professional. Whether you're creating a high-quality corporate report in England or a creative brochure in Scotland, adhering to these guidelines will enhance your printed materials.
To enhance the durability of your perfect bound book, we create a hinge by creasing the cover 7mm from the spine. This design not only protects the glued edge but also allows for smooth page turning, contributing to a better user experience. The hinge design is essential for maintaining the integrity of the binding over time, especially for books used in busy settings like offices or schools in Wales and Northern Ireland.
The perfect binding method is known for its visually appealing results and cost-effectiveness, even for smaller orders. It can accommodate documents with a page count ranging from 28 to 700*, making it a versatile choice for businesses and trade customers, throughout the UK. This binding method provides a high-quality finish that stands out, ensuring your publications look professional and meet the expectations of the target audience.
*700 page limit depends on inner paper type and weight.
We exclusively use high-quality PUR glue for binding, which is stronger than traditional hot melt glue. PUR glue provides superior flexibility and resistance to temperature variations, ensuring that your perfect bound book will maintain its integrity over time. This quality adhesive is crucial for the longevity of your printed materials, whether you're distributing them in London or presenting them at a conference in Edinburgh.
Whether you're publishing a bestselling novel, producing a comprehensive manual, or preparing your company's annual report, perfect bound books can enhance the presentation of your work. This method is ideal for materials that require a more robust binding solution, ensuring your content is showcased effectively. Perfect bound books are a popular choice for self-publishers and businesses across England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Silk
Silk coated paper has a smooth feel with a discreet surface sheen. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear distinct and clear. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 150gsm)
Gloss
Gloss coated paper has a shiny surface and very smooth finish. Colour is sharp and stands out well. Ink dries quickly and the need for lamination is reduced. (Cover 250gsm - 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 200gsm)
Premium uncoated
Our premium uncoated paper is absorbent. Printed inks appear flatter due to this absorbency, and the paper has a soft finish. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 300gsm; inner text 100gsm – 120gsm)
Matt lamination gives a soft, contemporary effect. Gloss lamination gives a higher quality shine finish than gloss card. Lamination is most useful with solid colours or images to enhance their vibrancy or where you want to protect your printed documents. The most popular option is to matt laminate your cover.
