Product Overview
Perfect Binding: The Ideal Alternative to Saddle-Stitching
When your project outgrows the capabilities of saddle-stitching, our perfect binding service provides a dependable and elegant alternative. Perfect for thicker publications, this binding method ensures a refined and professional finish, ideal for Irish businesses aiming to present their materials with sophistication.
Perfect Bound Books for a Variety of Publications
Perfect binding is the preferred choice for a diverse range of printed materials, including magazines, brochures, and extensive reports. This binding technique enhances the visual appeal and durability of your publications, making it the ideal option for high-quality annual reports, marketing brochures, and other professional documents tailored for the Irish market.
Is Perfect Binding the Right Choice for You?
If your project demands robust and long-lasting binding, perfect binding is the optimal solution. It guarantees that hefty documents retain a sleek and sturdy appearance, making it a favoured option among Irish publishers and corporate clients who seek both elegance and durability in their printed materials.
Our Perfect Binding Process Explained
To achieve a flawless perfect bound book, it’s essential to maintain a 12mm margin along the spine edge of the first and last text pages, as well as on the inner front and back covers. Our binding process includes creating a 7mm crease from the spine on the cover, which significantly enhances the binding’s strength and longevity, ensuring your books withstand frequent handling. We only use PUR glue to perfect bind our books, which is much stronger than old-fashioned hot melt glue. PUR binding is more tolerant to higher and lower temperatures as it is very flexible and non-brittle.
Customisation Options to Suit Your Needs
We offer a wide array of paper stocks and finishes to customise your perfect bound books to your exact specifications. Choose cover weights from 250gsm to 350gsm and select interior pages from options such as recycled paper, premium uncoated, silk, or glossy finishes, ranging between 100gsm and 200gsm. Additionally, you can opt for standard or bespoke sizes during the quoting process to perfectly align with your project requirements.

Paper Options
Silk
Silk coated paper has a smooth feel with a discreet surface sheen. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear distinct and clear. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 150gsm)
Gloss
Gloss coated paper has a shiny surface and very smooth finish. Colour is sharp and stands out well. Ink dries quickly and the need for lamination is reduced. (Cover 250gsm - 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 200gsm)
Premium uncoated
Our premium uncoated paper is absorbent. Printed inks appear flatter due to this absorbency, and the paper has a soft finish. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 300gsm; inner text 100gsm – 120gsm)
Finishes
Matt lamination gives a soft, contemporary effect. Gloss lamination gives a higher quality shine finish than gloss card. Lamination is most useful with solid colours or images to enhance their vibrancy or where you want to protect your printed documents. The most popular option is to matt laminate your cover.
