What are perfect bound books?

Perfect binding involves gluing the pages together at the spine, creating a clean and seamless appearance. The cardstock covers are scored and folded, creating a sleek 90° angle with squared-off edges. We use a durable, flexible binding glue to secure pages into the hinged spines of the cardstock covers.

Enter the total number of pages, less the covers, in the number of pages input below. This calculator assumes you are printing double sided. If you are printing single sided you will need to double the amount of pages entered.

When you've entered the number of pages and selected your paper type that you are printing on the calculator will tell you what the spine width is and if you are able to have text printed on the spine. If the spine is too small then you will not be able to have text on it.

What makes perfect bound books an economical binding solution?

Sometimes called softcover or paperback books, perfect bound booklets strike an ideal balance between price and professionalism:

Less Materials

Perfect bound books are bound by a machine using only paper and glue. Some book bindings, such as Wire-o, require additional materials and often have synthetic covers.

Less Labor

The perfect binding machine is relatively automated. A book-binding technician simply loads the paper and covers, and the machine does the rest. Spiral and wire-o binding must be done by hand.

Scalability

The setup process for perfect bound books is negligible compared to hardcover binding, sewn stitching and other professional book publishing options. This equates to competitive pricing on small quantities as well as large, preventing you from ordering more books than you need just to get a lower unit price.

Affordable for Buyers and Readers

For many book printing clients, having a product that is affordable for their target audience is a big concern. With perfect bound books, self publishers never have to worry.

We don't recommend perfect bound books for training materials, cookbooks, or other uses that require the book to stay open while laying flat. For books of this nature, we suggest Spiral Binding or Wire-o Binding instead.

How does perfect binding work?

Perfect bound books are created with binding glue, paper, and scored cardstock covers.

1. Book pages and covers are printed on a digital press.
2. Cardstock cover sheets are scored to create the spine hinges, and sheets are loaded into the perfect binding machine.
3. Inside pages are bonded firmly into the scored spine with a heavy-duty binding glue.
4. Book edges are trimmed square to remove excess glue and cover edges, creating perfect 90° corners.
