Want a booklet / product catalogue / graduation yearbook that feels like a professionally published book in your hands? Perfect binding (adhesive binding) is the safest softcover option: it looks neat and the pages turn naturally. Even a single copy is available, while matte or gloss cover lamination instantly elevates the finish.
Low glare and comfortable to read; suitable for company booklets, brand introductions and layouts combining text and images.
Richer colours and brighter images; suitable for portfolios, photo books and graduation yearbooks.
Comfortable to read without glare; book paper is also easier to write or make notes on.

| Binding Method Perfect binding (adhesive binding) |
A neat spine and publication-like appearance; even short runs have a professional feel. | Any application where it needs to "look like a book" |
| Cover Stock | 300gsm gloss art card (matte lamination / gloss lamination) | For a sturdier, more wear-resistant cover that is less easily scratched |
| Inner Page Stock | 128gsm/157gsm gloss art paper, 128gsm/157gsm matte art paper, 120gsm book paper (paper stocks can be mixed by section) | Image-heavy: art paper; text-heavy: book paper; for a more premium feel: matte art paper |

4pp+12pp / 16pp / 20pp / 24pp / 36pp (other page counts available on enquiry) | From simple booklets to substantial catalogues |
| Optional Finishes Depending on the design |
Spot colours, gold/silver foil stamping, debossing and more are available (for special finishes, we recommend sending your artwork via WhatsApp first) | When the cover logo / book title needs to be "instantly memorable" |
Tip: your inner pages do not all have to use the same paper stock—for example, start with tracing paper/specialty paper for a "chapter divider", then use book paper/art paper afterwards to give the book an instantly more premium, layered feel.

Should your perfect-bound book be A5, B5 or A4? This guide walks through three quick questions — how readers pick it up, whether the content is text- or image-heavy, and how many pages — then covers the sizes (148x210 to 210x297 mm), cover and inner paper options, and a layout check before you submit files.
A pre-submission checklist for perfect-bound (softcover) book artwork: reserve a 10mm glued-spine allowance, keep page numbers and QR codes clear of the gutter, handle full-spread images, add 3mm bleed, and export a print-ready CMYK PDF at 300dpi. Covers left/right inner margins, spine width and a final file-prep list.
