Perfect bound books

Perfect Bound books are also called soft cover books, a method were the pages and cover are glued together at the spine with a strong, yet flexible thermal glue. The other three sides of the book are then trimmed as needed to give them clean perfect edges.  Perfect bound books have a square, printable spine and the cover is usually made from heavy paper or cardstock that is heavier than the interior pages.  The sections are milled in the back and notches are applied into the spine allowing the glue to penetrate in the spine of the book.  If desired, the cover can be clear-coated to provide durability and improve appearance. Perfect bound book printing makes for a clean and professional presentation with the pages sitting neatly and evenly.  Also, this binding method is a less expensive way compared to case and hard bound binding.

Board books

A board book is a binding format and is exactly what it sounds like; they are produced in many shapes and sizes. Publishers usually make the book out of thick paperboard or binding two or more pages together. If you compare these books to hardcover books, the difference is towards the cover.  In Board Books, the entire book, down to the pages, are of paperboard, so that it can take wear and tear. However, publishers cannot use this method to publish all the books coming to them. Board books are usually exclusively for children’s books mainly because the entire book is more durable. We all know that children do not handle material things very well as they do not understand their value yet. As such, children can easily tear off pages of hardcover books, perhaps just leaving the covers intact. With board books, children will have a hard time tearing the entire book apart. As your best board book printer we will ensure the safeties and the standard regulations are enforced when producing board books.
