Perfect Bound Booklets

PUR-bound booklets from 40 to 88 pages, in eight sizes, from 25 copies to 5,000.

Description

A booklet with a proper spine, not a staple

Perfect binding turns a stack of pages into something that looks like a publication. The pages are bound with strong PUR adhesive into a flat, square spine you can print on. Choose from eight sizes, 40 to 88 pages, thirteen inner papers and five cover stocks, with optional gloss, matt or soft-touch lamination on the cover. Order from 25 copies up to 5,000. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Supply a CMYK PDF at 300dpi with 3mm bleed and fonts outlined, with the pages in running order. Your page total must be divisible by four, so add blank pages if you need to reach the next multiple. Keep text, page numbers and images at least 10mm from every edge, because the binding takes up more of the inner margin than you would expect. Leave the inside spine and 5mm either side of it blank: the glue bonds far better to unprinted paper.

Frequently asked questions

What is PUR binding?
PUR stands for polyurethane reactive. It is a binding adhesive that is stronger and more flexible than conventional binding glue, so the booklet stands up to repeated handling.
How many pages can a booklet have?
From 40 to 88 pages, in steps of four. If your content lands on 38 pages, add blanks to reach 40.
Which papers can I choose?
Thirteen inner papers from 90gsm to 170gsm, in silk, gloss, uncoated and Premium Smooth White. Covers are 250gsm silk, gloss or uncoated, or 300gsm silk or gloss.
Which cover finish should I choose?
The cover can be left unlaminated or laminated on the outside. Matt is understated, gloss makes photography and colour stronger, and soft-touch has a velvety feel.
Can I print on the spine?
Yes. The flat spine can carry a title and logo. Its width depends on your page count and paper, so send us your specification and we'll confirm it.
Why must the inside spine be left blank?
Because PUR adhesive bonds more securely to bare paper than to printed ink. Leaving the inside spine and 5mm either side unprinted gives a stronger binding.
Can Printlogik design my booklet?
Yes. If you don't have artwork, or yours needs tidying up, our studio can set up your file or create the design from scratch. Ask for a design quote and we'll price it before you commit.
