Perfect binding uses a single piece of thick paper or card as a cover which is wrapped around the inside pages. The pages are bind together using hot glue.
The cover can be customised by printing your design on it.
Perfect binding is used for portfolios, presentations, books, manuals, magazines and catalogues.
We usually print the perfect binding cover on thick paper or card up to 350 gsm.
Your design can be printed on the front or can spread over the front and back of the cover.
Using the perfect binding method, we can bind documents of A5, A4 and A3 size.
A4 and A3 documents can be bound either on the short or on the long edge.
We normally need 24 hours for printing and perfect binding.
