Question

What is the minimum page count for perfect-bound booklets?

Answer

Perfect binding requires a minimum number of inside pages because the spine needs enough thickness for the glue to hold the pages together securely. If a project only has a handful of pages, the spine would be too thin to bind well, so a different method usually works better.

  • Why there is a minimum: the glued spine needs enough page bulk to stay bound.
  • Very low page counts are better suited to saddle stitch.
  • Higher page counts give a wider, more durable spine you can print a title on.
  • Total page counts are usually even numbers.

Check the Perfect Bound Book product page for the current page minimum, or contact support to confirm the right binding for your page count.
