Perfect Bound Books – Softcover

Perfect-bound softcover books provide the clean square spine and polished appearance commonly associated with paperback books and premium catalogues. The printed pages are gathered into a block and securely glued into a wraparound cover.

This binding method is ideal for publications with enough pages to form a visible spine, including manuals, annual reports, prospectuses, catalogues, portfolios and self-published books. The cover can be laminated for additional protection and a refined finish.
