Perfect Bound Catalog Printing, Perfect Bind Catalogs in Los Angeles

How To Get Perfect Bind Catalogs with AxiomPrint

Perfect binding catalogs or books is a popular printing method due to its affordability and high quality. The pages are glued to a cardstock cover using a strong, thermal adhesive, which creates the squared-off spine you are accustomed to seeing.

Perfect bound catalogs are great for any page count over 28 pages. Perfect binding your book or catalog will create a more polished and professional product at an affordable price, in comparison to expensive hardcover printing.

Depending on page count and thickness, you can print a title, author name, or nice design on the spine.

When deciding between a perfect bound catalog or a saddle stitch catalog, ask yourself the following questions:

How many pages do I need printed? Who is my content for, in terms of target audience? Is this a short-lived project or do you want this product to last? How will you distribute your catalog? How many catalogs do you need?

If you can’t decide, our team of experienced professionals will give you a recommendation based on their years of experience.

Design Considerations for Perfect Bound Books

Design Considerations for Perfect Bound Books

Perfect bound books usually have more pages than their saddle-stitched counterparts. The cover includes a flat spine that is wide enough to accommodate all the pages of the book. When the bindery binds the book, they grind off the binding edge of the pages, roughening it up a little, so that the glue will adhere the pages to the spine. As a designer, you don’t need to worry about the grind-off, it is just the same as the area of the inner bleed.

When designing a perfect bound book, remember that imagery close to the spine may get lost in the gutter. If you have art too close to the inner edge, the viewer may crack the spine to see it, and you wouldn’t want that, because then there is a risk of pages coming loose from the binding.

A couple things to consider when designing a perfect bound book:

It’s best to avoid having imagery cross over the fold because of the way the binding “folds” leaving an area that is hard to see.

If you do have a cross-over, make sure that no important parts of the imagery are too close to the fold.

Keep text at least ½” from the inner edge of the pages.

If you do use an image on cross-over, duplicate the image, put one side of the image on each page and nudge them out just a little, no more than 1/8”, to visually get the image to balance.
