How do I choose a binding for my book?
Start with your page count and how the book will be used. Saddle stitching suits shorter publications, while perfect binding creates a flat spine for larger books and catalogues. Hardback covers add rigidity and protection, and wiro binding lets pages turn freely and stay open during use. Compare the binding options above, then explore our book and brochure printing range to choose your product.
What should I decide before preparing my book artwork?
Start with your book’s finished size, binding style, page count and paper choice. These affect the dimensions of your artwork, including any spine, and how much space to leave near the binding. Once you’ve chosen your specification, visit our Support Guides for artwork setup instructions for your chosen binding style.
How does paper choice affect the finished book?
Paper affects how your book looks, feels and handles. Its weight and thickness influence the finished book’s bulk and spine width, while its surface affects the appearance of text and images. Uncoated paper is often useful for pages that need to be written on, while coated stocks can suit image led publications. Explore our Print Materials Hub to understand the options, then check the stocks available for your chosen product.
How should I prepare my book files for printing?
Supply your artwork as PDF files, following the requirements for your chosen binding. Inner pages are generally supplied as individual pages in reading order, while cover setup varies by format and may need to include a spine. Our book artwork guides explain the relevant file setup, bleed and safe areas. Check your exported PDFs carefully for page order, missing content and layout issues before uploading.
Are specialist book finishes available?
Yes. Our bespoke book printing options include dust jackets, ribbon bookmarks, printed endpapers, head and tail bands, and embossing or debossing. Discuss your requirements with our team before finalising your artwork, as these details can affect cover setup, materials and production time.
Is there a minimum order quantity for book printing?
Most book formats can be ordered from a single copy. Larger quantities benefit from lower unit costs, making them more cost effective for wider distribution.
