DL Perfect Bound Books take the tall, slim shape of a standard rack leaflet and upgrade it to a bound book with a flat glued spine, a format that slips into a DL envelope and stands neatly in a display stand.
The narrow page changes how print gets read. One column, one message per spread, no clutter. That makes DL a favourite for property brochures, wine and food menus, treatment and price lists, travel itineraries and funeral order books, anywhere a slim, elegant page suits the content. And unlike a folded leaflet, a bound DL book holds serious page counts while the square spine keeps everything crisp in a rack or on a table.
Print options cover every budget and brand requirement:
Pages and covers come in silk, gloss, uncoated or recycled stock from 90gsm to 250gsm, so you can pair a heavyweight cover with lighter inner pages that turn easily. Conqueror CX22 is available as a cover-only upgrade, a textured board suited to the premium feel most DL books aim for. Laminate the cover in matt, gloss, silk, soft-touch or anti-scuff, then add spot UV or foiling for a raised-shine or metallic accent.

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.
A slim book only looks right when the trim and binding are exact, and that precision comes from experience. Better Printing, part of Southampton’s InPrint Group, has been producing print since 1986 with everything under one roof: design studio, lithographic and digital presses, finishing and dispatch across a 20,000 square foot facility, staffed by a team of more than 50. ISO certifications cover both quality and sustainability, support runs 24 hours a day, six days a week, and thousands of UK businesses lean on our record for delivering urgent jobs on schedule. When your launch date is fixed, that history matters.
