PUR PERFECT BINDING

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.

Short runs start at 25 copies. Larger runs bring the unit price down; we quote both so you can compare.

Perfect bound books are typically ready in 4 to 5 working days after artwork approval. Express production is available for deadlines; tell us the date you need them.

How do I set up the spine? +

Tell us the page count and inner paper and we calculate the spine width for you and send a cover template. Keep text at least 5mm away from the spine fold.

What file do you need? +

A single-page PDF for the inner pages with 3mm bleed, and the cover as one spread (back, spine, front). CMYK, fonts embedded, images at 300dpi. We check every file before printing.

"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."

— David M.

"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."
