Hendon Print Shop prints PUR perfect bound books from Hendon NW4: A6, A5, A4, 210×210mm or a custom size, portrait or landscape, 28 to 600 pages including cover, 115–200gsm inner paper, 250–350gsm laminated cover with optional foil or spot UV. Short runs from 25 copies.

PUR is a polyurethane adhesive that stays flexible after it cures, so the spine does not crack when the book is opened flat and pages do not fall out with use. It is the binding used for trade paperbacks, product catalogues and thick reports. The spine is square and printable, so the title reads on the shelf. We check every file before it goes to press and send you a cover template with the exact spine width for your page count and paper.
No prices online for this product: every job is specified individually, so we quote each one. Email the spec or call and you have a firm price the same day. Also see: Booklets & Brochures, Hardback Books, Luxury Paper Bags.

"I had a really smooth and professional experience. I needed to print sensitive ID documents and was a bit nervous, but they were very polite and reassuring. Everything was printed and ready — quick, efficient, and exactly as requested. Highly recommended."
"Fantastic service. Walked in with a USB stick, needed urgent posters for an event the next day. They had them done within the hour. Great quality, fair prices, and genuinely helpful staff. Will definitely be back."
"Best print shop in North London. I use them for all my business cards and leaflets. Same day turnaround every time. The evening opening hours are a lifesaver for anyone who works 9 to 5."
