PERFECT BOUND

This technique consists of assembling all of the pages in an enveloping cover. The pages are cut on the side of the edge which gives a flat back. This type of shaping offers a professional and prestigious rendering, ideal for brochures, magazines, catalogues. The perfect bound offers different possibilities: standard, PUR glue.

Standard perfect bound

This technique consists in gluing the pages inside, it allows to have a larger pagination than a stapled binding. The classic glued square back uses a hot glue also called “hotmelt”.
