Popular among soft cover books, perfect binding refers to a type of binding service where the pages and covers are perfectly glued together with thermal glue at the spine of the book. The other three sides of the books will then undergo a cutting process to remove any overlengths. For books that are more than 50 pages (5mm thickness and above), perfect binding is the best suited method with a lower cost when compared to case binding, wire-o binding and comb binding.Furthermore, for the book covers, you can choose from our uv varnish, matt lamination, gloss lamination finishing which will act as a protective layer, extending its lifespan while upgrading the products’ appearances.
