Perfect Binding Process
The perfect binding method starts with printed pages which are compiled, folded, and assembled into the correct order. Groups of pages are called signatures in the printing world.
The first and last pages are then glued onto a bigger sheet that becomes the front and back cover with the signatures stacked together making the inside pages. The binding edge is then primed with a thermal glue to act as the spine. Once the pages are together at the spine, the sides of the book are trimmed to create a finished look which is why it’s called a “perfect” book. The edges are cut uniformly, or perfectly, which is not always the case with traditional hardcover books.
This type of book printing is a professional way to present products or services.
Perfect Book Binding Examples
School
Perfect bound books are great for universities and colleges to list upcoming courses with descriptions. Course catalogs can feature bios and information about the professors, the campus, and more.
New Writers
Authors who may not have a large publisher or are just getting started in the industry can consider self publishing their work in a paperback books or perfectly-bound booklet. Putting their pieces out there in the world will bring recognition and visibility.
Realtors
Perfectly-bound booklets are great for real estate offices to showcase the homes they are trying to sell. Perfect binding is great to compile listings in a professional presentation so an interested homebuyer can peruse all the choices!
Healthcare
The perfect binding technique is a great solution for clinics to organize their services but also offer lots of educational material. For example, if there is a procedure that a patient might be interested in, they will want to know everything about the process.
Dentist clinics, behavioral health, and physicians can all benefit from perfect binding services for their offices.
Benefits of Perfect Binding
A soft cover book looks great but is also the most cost-effective way of presenting something in book-form. The nice thing about perfect binding is that the spine can be printed on as well, differentiating it from spiral-bound books or the spiral binding method. That way, a certain issue or name of the catalog can be printed on the spine.
Perfectly-bound books also last a long time with quality-printed pages with a variety of paper weights, full colors, and finishes. Finally, this style of booklet is able to be printed in small runs making it a budget-friendly way of creating high-quality printed projects.
Limitations of Perfect Binding
There are some disadvantages to perfect-bound books include that they can’t lay flat so the pages do have to be printed farther away from the spine. Perfectly-bound books are also not ideal for things like cookbooks or user manuals where you would need to stay on a single page for a longer period of time.
Perfect-bound books are also limited to a number of pages as well. For instance, you wouldn’t want a 1,000-page catalog! That many inside pages of the book would be difficult to keep together by gluing at the spine.
