Paperback Book and Catalogue Printing

Produce paperback editions, illustrated softcovers and product catalogues with a choice of glued or thread-sewn binding and conventional or flapped covers. Calculate the price of your edition online and explore how changes to its construction affect the production budget.

Hotmelt perfect binding offers an economical solution for many paperback and catalogue projects. For publications requiring a sewn construction, choose a thread-sewn book block finished with hotmelt adhesive. Both options can be priced against the same specification, making the additional cost of sewing easy to assess.

Cover design is a key part of softcover production. Specify a standard cover, a single flap or flaps on both sides, with the flap width set to your requirements. Inside cover printing is available, including 4+1 and 4+4 configurations, so artwork and editorial content can continue across the inner cover surfaces and flaps.

Coated cover papers, uncoated stocks and GC1 cartonboard offer different combinations of stiffness, surface and appearance. An unlaminated or water-based varnished cover is available alongside laminated finishes, allowing the cover treatment to follow the design requirements of the publication.

Format and page count also deserve attention when planning a print run: their effect on paper utilisation can influence production costs. Compare alternative dimensions and quantities in the calculator before settling on the specification for your paperback book or catalogue.
