The perfect binding method, sometimes referred to as case binding, is a popular soft-cover bookbinding technique where the pages and the cover are attached at the spine with a strong and flexible thermal glue. The cover is typically a heavier card or paper stock that can be clear coated for visual appeal and increased durability that will stand the test of time. The other three sides are trimmed for a clean look with perfect edges, thus the name perfect binding. The spine is also printable and has a neat, square appearance.
Perfect binding finishing is desirable because it is generally less expensive than hardcover binding techniques. The perfect binding method is useful for companies, organizations and individuals that need short runs of a just a couple of hundred books, catalogues, reports or manuals. This method is also appropriate for a project with a high page count, like a thicker catalogue or a product brochure. Upon completion, the finished perfect bound piece produces a shape that is attractive for displays and also stacks well for easy storage. The result is a cost-effective, professional printed piece with a custom printed cover that offers a high degree of durability.
Perfect binding is the ideal low-cost option for a professional result. This method is used by companies, organizations and individuals with projects like self-publishing a paperback book.
