Very thick books cannot be bound securely by stapling or fastened using saddle-stitch. But there is a perfect bound book method that works perfectly for book binding for projects with up to 700 printed pages.

Commonly used for thick textbooks, brochures and magazines, a perfect binding uses strong but flexible adhesives to bind pages together along the spine for a smooth and stylish output. This adhesive is more tolerant to varying temperatures and is non-brittle. This means thicker books can open flatter without breaking the spine which causes pages to fall out. This binding method requires 7mm safe area at the edge of the spine of the first and last page including inside front and back cover page. The cover is then bent 7mm from the spine to make a joint that secures the glued border.

Perfect bound books present a professional look perfect for displays and stacking. Additionally, this flexible adhesive binding is affordable. For publishing a travel or fashion magazine or a glossy textbook or manual, contact Country Press Printing. With perfect book binding, for all types of manuscripts, book projects can be delivered in no time at the best price.
