Perfect bound booklets have gained significant popularity in both creative and professional industries due to their lavish cover materials and impeccable precision finish. This premium binding method is perfect for brochures, catalogues, magazines, and any publication with a substantial number of pages.
How are perfect bound books made?
Our perfect bound books are produced through a two-step process. First, the inner pages are grouped together, while the outer cover is printed separately. These elements are then seamlessly combined by gluing the inner pages to the inside of the cover at the spine. The result is a sturdy and long-lasting structure capable of withstanding extensive use.
Tailor your perfect bound booklets to suit your specific needs and branding preferences:
For optimal protection, we recommend adding lamination, particularly for covers with heavy ink coverage. Lamination helps prevent ink transfer or marks caused by friction during transit or storage. You can choose from three finishes: Soft Touch, Matt, or Gloss, each providing a durable layer of protection for your design.

Artwork Submission:
1. Submit Two Files:
For example, for a 40-page brochure, supply an inner PDF of 36 pages and a cover PDF of two pages (page 1 is the outside cover spread, and page 2 is the inside cover spread).
File Requirements:
Lamination Recommendation:
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.
If lamination is not desired, reduce graphics or background colours crossing into the outer and inner spine area.
