A4 Perfect Bound Books give brochures, reports and catalogues a flat glued spine and a clean square edge, the same professional finish you see on paperbacks and annual reports.
Perfect binding suits documents with a decent page count. The square spine stacks and stores neatly, carries printed text so your title stays readable in a rack, and gives softcover books a structure that survives real handling.
Print your cover in full colour, in matched Pantones when colour accuracy matters, in black only for a lower-cost finish, or in up to 6 colours (CMYK plus 2 Pantones) for brand-critical work. Covers can be printed outside only or on both sides.
Inner pages come in four stocks, all available from 90gsm to 250gsm:
Cover materials use the same four stocks plus Conqueror CX22, a textured board with real weight in the hand for prospectuses and proposals.
Lamination protects the cover and sets the tone: matt for an understated look, gloss for punchy colour, silk for a soft sheen between the two, soft-touch for a velvet feel, and anti-scuff to keep dark covers clean in the post. Add spot UV or metallic foiling to lift a logo or title.

Additional options:
Perfect binding is a method of bookbinding, where the pages are simply placed in a vertical stack and glued to the spine of your booklet using flexible glue. The outer edges of your booklet are then simultaneously trimmed to create a ‘perfect’ clean edge.
The perfect binding method offers greater flexibility and creative freedom at a relatively affordable price. Your book can have an even or odd number of pages, and each page can use a different paper stock or colour.
Presentation-wise, perfect bound books also offer identical page size and presentation, with no need to adjust your design for trim creep.
Perfect bound books also offer a spine which can be printed on – so in a stack or shelf of books, yours can still stand out!
You can view our page count options in the table below. Each paper sheet (or ‘leaf’) of your book will have two printed pages (pp); one on each side of the paper.
If you’re still unsure about page counts, or you need a different number of pages to the options here, call us on 023 8087 8037 to discuss your requirements.
Perfect bound books are available in the following standard sizes. Please note that these measurements refer to the size of the brochure when closed:

The right print method will depend on a number of factors; including the product type, quantity and turnaround time you require.
Better Printing can produce your order on either litho or digital, with both available in-house. Our sales team can recommend the most cost-effective solution for your needs and will confirm your preferred method before going to print.
All brochures and booklets are produced in portrait orientation (with the spine located on the longer edge of the booklet) by default. Alternatively, you can specify landscape orientation for your brochures if needed at the checkout stage.
We recommend supplying artwork as single pages in the same order as you want them to appear in the finished brochure. Please avoid supplying your artwork in printer’s pairs or double page spreads, as this may extend production times of your print order.
