Perfect Bound

Perfect bound is the most common technique for binding soft cover books. It is a technique that is commonly used in magazines, books, journals, and catalogs of all sizes. The perfect bound technique uses glues to hold the pages to the spine.

Importantly, the spine is part of the front cover. So, the front cover is bent to create the spine and then the pages are glued to this small section. This means there is no seam between the front cover and the spine, creating a smoother, more aesthetic front edge. Perfect bound also allows for better wrap-around printing.
