Lookbooks are all about showing off products in a visually appealing way, letting customers soak in the design, colours, textures, and overall vibe of a collection. When you go for perfect bound booklets, you're getting something that looks and feels top-notch and will last a long time. These booklets can handle thick paper and lots of pages, and you can mix and match cover and inner stocks to make it your own. Plus, you can pick custom sizes up to A4.
Top Tip: To avoid any scuffing marks on the spines with full ink coverage we would recommend adding a laminate.

Printed lookbooks provide a hands-on experience that digital formats simply can't match. Customers get to feel the paper quality, flip through pages, and engage with the content, making a stronger connection with the brand and its products. If you want to create a lookbook where readers can jot down notes or mark products, we suggest our uncoated paper option.
When it comes to distribution, printed lookbooks can be targeted to specific audiences like fashion influencers, industry insiders, potential buyers, and loyal customers. By tailoring distribution channels, you ensure that your lookbook reaches those most likely to be interested in your brand and make purchases.
You can order as few as one book, with page counts ranging from 40 to 240 pages. We handle orders of 500 and below using our cutting-edge digital facilities, while larger quantities are produced using our modern litho presses.
UK shipping is free, exceptions apply.
If you need some help putting your Lookbooks artwork together, please see our Help Centre article here.
For Lookbooks, please submit artwork as two files.
One file is the cover pages, submitted as a spread including the spine. Please use our spine width calculator to ensure you have the correct spine size.
NOTE: We recommend adding lamination to the cover pages for protection. During production, the spine is glued to the inner pages using a clamp which may cause scuffing or printer marks around the spine area and any other heavy ink coverage area on the cover. - More information.
If lamination is not desired, we advise reducing any graphics or background colours crossing into the outer and inner spine area.
If you need some advice on how to set up images that cross overspreads, see our article here - Tips on setting up a Perfect Bound Book with crossover images and text.
For more guidance on how to successfully set up and submit your artwork, see our booklets and brochures help pages.
