Perfect binding is the process for making soft cover or paperback books and includes many variants according to client needs, such as corporate annual reports, brochures, manuals, non-fiction and fiction books, graphic novels, cost-efficient yearbooks, and various other publications that are a step up from saddle stitching. Our capacity for Perfect Binding is 100.000 pcs per day.

There are 3 different cover types:

• Without flaps: Both the block and the cover are trimmed to the same size.
• With 1 flap: The cap is narrower than the block in the fold line. It is used on the front cover of reinforced solid publications as it creates extra space for a wing advertising material. The flap must be folded before the book is bound.
• With 2 flap: The cover is larger than the block on fold lines. Covers with two flaps have started to be very popular among publishers. The flaps give more space for information. It is an intermediate version between perfect binding and case binding.

Block types for Perfect Binding:

• Perfect Bound: The block's spine is trimmed with a special knife (cutter), roughed up and cover is glued on using hot glue. This binding is standard for periodicals, magazines, books and brochures.
• Section Sewn: The block is sewn in sections and glued to its cover. This is traditional binding for annual reports, textbooks, exercise books, etc.
