What is a Perfect Bound Book?
A Perfect Bound Book, also known as a Paperback Book, is just like the ones you'd find in a delightful bookstore. The text pages are expertly glued to the cover spine and trimmed to perfection, which is where they get their splendid name.
What sizes of books can I print?
Here at SM1 Print Studio, we offer an exciting range of standard sizes, including square and novel options. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even go for a custom-sized book, up to a remarkable 300 x 300mm.
How many pages can I print in my book?
Our Perfect Bound Books can accommodate an astonishing 500 printed pages! However, we do recommend a minimum of 32 pages to ensure the best results. If you're planning to print fewer pages, our Saddle Stitched Book option is perfect for you.
How can I determine the width of my book's spine?
Simply let us know the number of pages you need, remembering to add four extra for the cover, and we will let you know the dimension on your quote.
Can I add special finishes to my book?
Absolutely! We adore creating standout publications, so we offer a marvellous variety of finishes to make your book truly shine. Take your pick from our glossy or soft-touch laminations, or go the extra mile with our Scodix UV and foil finishing options.
