What is perfect binding?

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, creating books that are both attractive and durable.

How are perfect bound books assembled?

1. Book pages and covers are printed on a digital press.
2. Cover sheets and pages are loaded into the perfect binding machine.
3. The binder scores and folds the covers to create the hinges.
4. Inside pages are milled (meaning the binding edge is roughed-up to create a more secure bond) and then adhered firmly into the spine with a heavy-duty binding glue.
5. Book edges are trimmed square to remove excess glue, creating perfect 90° corners.

Perfect binding is ideal for novels, memoirs, photo books, and more.

Perfect bound books are a cost-effective solution for self published authors who want their books to look professional without going over budget. With low prices and virtually no setup, perfect binding is ideal for small and mid-size print runs.

Perfect binding is particularly well-suited for printing paperback books that can be sold online or in stores.

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.
