Perfect Binding Books

You don’t have to be a famous author for your work to feel like a masterpiece. Perfect-bound booklets elevate your project—whether it’s a report or a catalogue, a manual or a magazine—by using a professional glue binding. So no matter whether it lives on a library shelf or in a desk drawer, your piece will always command attention.

• Perfect-bound, or softcover, books use a glue bind like most books you’d find in a store or library
• This method can accommodate projects ranging from 30 to 200 pages—making it great for self-published books, catalogues, magazines, and more
• Perfect binding offers a broad selection of paper types, coating, and sizing options to fit your needs
• It continues to be an economical printing option, while offering a premium look and feel
