Perfect Bound Books

A square spine and a professional finish for thicker publications.

Perfect binding gives your publication a flat, square spine — the same construction used for trade paperbacks and professional catalogs. Trilon prints perfect bound books on both the Sharp BP‑1200s and the Ricoh Pro C7200x, matching the press to your volume and color requirements. It's the right choice for anything over 20 pages, and it gives your book a presence on a shelf that saddle stitch simply can't match.

Common Uses

  • Trade paperbacks and self-published books
  • Annual reports and corporate publications
  • Product catalogs and specification books
  • Training manuals and reference guides
  • Portfolios and presentation books

Square Spine

Pages are gathered, glued, and trimmed to a flat square spine. The spine can be printed with a title, logo, or design.

20 Pages and Up

Perfect binding works for books from about 20 pages up to several hundred. Thicker books get a more substantial spine.

Separate Cover Stock

The cover is printed on heavier stock and wrapped around the text block. Coated, uncoated, and specialty stocks available.

Professional Trim

Three-knife trim after binding gives your book clean, even edges on all three sides.
