Professional Paperback-Style Books With a Printed Spine

Perfect Binding uses a glued square spine to create the familiar appearance of a paperback book. It is ideal for catalogues, company profiles, annual reports, magazines, manuals and long-form publications from 32 to 700 pages.

Lower Page Counts

For books between 32 and 56 pages, we recommend 170gsm inner paper where suitable. The heavier paper helps create a more substantial spine, although customers may choose any available inner stock.

Cover and Premium Finishing

Perfect Bound books always use a separate cover starting from 250gsm. Silk covers can be Matt, Gloss or Soft Touch laminated. Spot UV and foil are offered after Matt or Soft Touch lamination. Uncoated covers cannot be laminated.

Preparing Perfect Bound Artwork

Supply the internal pages as individual pages in reading order. The cover normally needs to be supplied as one spread containing the back cover, spine and front cover.

  • Add 3mm bleed to every page
  • Keep important content clear of trims and binding edge
  • Supply CMYK PDF artwork where possible
  • Use high-resolution images, ideally 300dpi
  • Allow the spine width to be confirmed before final cover approval

About the Spine Calculator

The calculator provides a useful estimate based on your selected page count and inner paper. The final manufacturing spine width is confirmed by our team before production, particularly for specialist and high-page-count books.

Questions answered

Perfect Bound Book Printing FAQs

What is the minimum page count for Perfect Binding?

Perfect Bound books begin at 32 pages. For lower page counts, saddle stitching is normally more suitable.

What is the maximum page count?

We can accept Perfect Bound enquiries up to 700 pages. The practical specification depends on the selected paper, finished size and spine width.

Can I order one copy?

Yes. We can produce a single copy, although the setup cost makes five or more copies a better-value starting point.

How long does Perfect Binding take?

Perfect Bound books normally require 5–7 working days. This turnaround applies to standard and premium specifications, subject to artwork and production review.

Which paper is recommended for 32–56 pages?

For lower page counts, 170gsm inner paper is recommended because it helps create a more substantial spine. Other available paper stocks can still be selected.

Can the cover be uncoated?

Yes. A 250gsm Uncoated cover is available, but lamination is not offered on uncoated cover stock.

Which cover finishes are available?

Matt, Gloss and Soft Touch lamination are available on Silk covers. Spot UV, Gold Foil and Silver Foil are available only after Matt or Soft Touch lamination.

How is the spine width calculated?

The online calculator provides an estimate from the page count and selected inner paper. Our team confirms the final spine width before artwork is approved for production.

How should I supply the cover artwork?

The cover is normally supplied as one spread containing the back cover, spine and front cover. We can provide or confirm the final spine measurement before production.

Can I collect from Barking?

Yes. Collection is available from our Barking shop. London courier and nationwide UK delivery can also be arranged.
