Perfect Bound Books
Professional Books. Perfectly Bound In-House.
Product Description
Give your books, manuals and publications a professional, retail-quality finish with our perfect bound book printing. With no minimum order quantity and a fast turnaround, perfect binding is an excellent choice whether you need a single copy, a short run or a larger quantity.
Perfect bound books have the clean, square spine commonly associated with paperback books. The printed pages are securely glued into a wraparound cover, creating a smart, professional appearance with a printable spine where the book is thick enough to accommodate one.
Unlike stapled booklets, which are best suited to publications with a relatively small number of pages, perfect binding is designed for thicker documents and books. It also offers a more refined, book-like appearance than wire binding, with no visible wire or staples and a neat, flat spine.
Perfect bound printing is particularly suited to:
- Books and self-published titles
- Company reports and annual reports
- Training manuals and handbooks
- Catalogues and product guides
- Instruction manuals
- Course materials and educational books
- Portfolios and presentation documents
- Programmes and publications
- Novels, journals and reference books
Our perfect bound books are printed, collated and bound in-house at Peterborough Print, giving us greater control over quality and turnaround times. It also makes short-run production practical, so you don't have to order hundreds of books when you only need a handful.
Page Counts
Perfect binding requires enough pages to create a spine that can be securely bound, so our perfect bound books start from 40 printed pages and are available with up to 400 printed pages, depending on the paper selected and finished specification.
Cover & Inner Pages
Choose from a range of paper options for the internal pages, with a heavier printed card cover wrapped around the book. Covers can also be enhanced with matt or gloss lamination for additional protection and a more premium finish.
Why Choose Perfect Binding?
Perfect binding gives you the appearance of a professionally published paperback while remaining suitable for short print runs and bespoke quantities. It's an ideal step up from saddle-stitched booklets when your document has more pages or when presentation is particularly important.
