Book Printing & Binding

Paperback BooksPerfect Binding

Paperback books use a soft cover bookbinding method called perfect binding. In this process, a strong, flexible thermal glue is used to securely attach the pages and cover to the spine. The other three sides of the book are then precisely trimmed, creating clean, uniform edges.

Paperback covers are made from heavy paper or card stock that can be coated for protection and longevity. Full-color printing is available for the covers.

Paperbacks provide an affordable option that still conveys professionalism. Even well-known authors often start with a limited hardback run before releasing a more accessible paperback edition.

Paperback Books Are Versatile

Businesses and organizations frequently use perfect binding for print projects like manuals, catalogs, reports, and brochures. Paperbacks can be produced in a wide range of sizes and page counts, although standard dimensions are generally more cost-effective.

Overall, softcover books automatically project a professional image while remaining budget-friendly for both producers and consumers.
