Question

What is a perfect-bound book?

Answer

A perfect-bound book is one where the inside pages and the cover are glued together along a flat spine, the same method used for most paperback books. Perfect binding gives your booklet a more finished, refined look.

  • Pages are gathered and glued at the spine, then trimmed flush on the other three sides.
  • The flat spine can be printed with a title, which is handy for shelves.
  • It works best for thicker page counts and premium presentations.
