Perfect Bound Book Printing – Softcover & Paperback Binding

Perfect binding is a popular softcover book printing method where the pages are glued together at the spine using strong thermal adhesive. Also called paperback binding, this option is commonly used for novels, corporate reports, manuals, workbooks, and catalogs.

At InstantPublisher, perfect bound book printing is available as a free binding upgrade on qualifying orders. It provides a professional, polished appearance with the option to print on the spine when the book is at least 80 pages thick.

  • PUR Binding Option: For added durability, we offer PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) adhesive binding. This option resists heat, cold, and humidity better than traditional EVA glue—ideal for long-lasting or high-use books.
