Give your lookbook, programme, zine or catalogue the finish of a paperback in a compact A5 format. Perfect binding gives each book a neat square spine that can carry your title, so it remains visible on a shelf.
Print up to 600 pages in black only, full colour, matched Pantones or up to six colours (CMYK plus two Pantones). Print the outside of the cover alone, or use the inside covers for a map, contents or contact details.
Choose from silk, gloss, uncoated or recycled paper, with stocks from 90–450gsm across the range. Silk works well for a mix of text and images; gloss brings out photography; uncoated is suited to pages readers may write on. For a textured cover, choose Conqueror CX22.
Complete the cover with matt, gloss, silk, soft-touch or anti-scuff lamination. Spot UV and metallic foiling are available as extras.
Choose your paper, cover and finish, then upload your artwork at checkout or send it by email later. If you need help with the design, our team can create it for you.
Standard delivery is free. Order express before 10am and your books will be delivered within 3 or 5 working days, depending on the option you select.

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.

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.
Since 1986 the InPrint Group has grown from a family firm into a 50-strong team of designers, press operators and finishers, and Better Printing carries that experience into every job. Nothing leaves our 20,000 square foot Southampton facility until it has passed through our own hands, because we keep design, litho and digital printing, finishing and dispatch under one roof. The result is turnaround you can plan around, backed by ISO-certified quality and sustainability standards, support that answers 24 hours a day, six days a week, and a track record of hitting urgent deadlines that has earned the trust of thousands of UK businesses.
