FAQ – Perfect bound book

What is a perfect bound book?

A paperback whose pages are glued into a wrap-around card cover, giving a square, printable spine. It is the standard format for novels, manuals, theses, reports and catalogues of 44 to 300 pages. Sewn perfect binding adds strength for books that are opened constantly, and a cover with flaps gives a more editorial finish.

How many pages can my perfect bound book have?

Paperback (perfect bound) books run from 44 to 300 pages online. Below 44 pages the spine is too thin to glue reliably; above 300 pages, ask for a custom quote.

Which sizes and papers can I choose?

A4, A5 and pocket size 11 × 18 cm from the configurator, portrait or landscape; other sizes on quote. Text pages: uncoated (offset) paper, white or cream, or matt or gloss coated paper for illustrated books, in the weights listed by the configurator (typically 80 to 170 gsm). Cover: 250 to 350 gsm board with matt, gloss or soft-touch lamination. FSC or PEFC certified papers available on request.

What quantities can I order?

From 100 copies, up to 2,500 copies online. Above that: on quote.

What is the lead time?

The production time is shown in the configurator as soon as your document is fully specified, before you order, and it is confirmed on the order. A shorter lead time is sometimes possible depending on the configuration and the production schedule at the time of ordering: state your date in a custom quote request.

Are my files checked, and do I get a proof?

Yes. Every file is checked by our prepress team before printing: trim size, bleed, resolution, page count and spine width. An online proof is sent before production; printing starts after your approval.

Where do you deliver?

Delivery across Europe. Outside Europe: possible depending on the product, on quote. Every parcel is tracked, and delivery in mainland France is free.
