BookCustomer Reviews
- Brendan Mc K.
This has been my second small book order in the same number of weeks. If I had thought my first order was a one off, I was pleasantly surprised. Again as a novice to all this, the customer staff at Digital was very helpful with clear instructions. Just as with my first order, I only had less than a week to wait for delivery, which seems incredible for book production. Also once again it arrived on the day that had been notified to me in advance. These were very important issues - delivered on time, guided by advice and not having to wait in for days for delivery. But the icing on the cake is much more than this. Today I received a professionally well bound book, that is excellently presented and for me enhances the work that I put in to putting this book together. Whether you are someone like me who justs wants individual copies of books or multiple copies, this company is worth loking into. I now have a unique and personal gift that very few other people have and at a standard that is much more superior to anything I could have envisaged. Thanks Brendan

Product Description
If your document is too thick to be saddle-stitched or stapled, then perfect bound book printing is your perfect option. Perfect bound printing is commonly used for magazines, brochures and thicker reports, this method binds your document together with adhesive along the spine to provide a smooth and stylish finish. It’s professional in appearance, cost effective - even for low quantities - and a great option for documents from 40 up to 700 printed pages. No wonder it’s so popular!
We only use PUR glue to perfect bind our books as it is much stronger than old fashioned hot melt glue. PUR is more tolerant to higher and lower temperatures as is very flexible and non-brittle, meaning books open flatter without cracking the spine or pages falling out.
Whether you’re publishing a bestseller, producing a glossy manual or distributing your annual report, we can help.
We have a great range of paper and finishes to choose from, with the option of matt or gloss lamination. Choose from silk, gloss or uncoated for your cover (250gsm to 350gsm), with gloss, matt or no lamination. We recommend you always matt laminate your cover for a quality finish. Our perfect bound books are available in A4 portrait, 1/3 A4 portrait, A5 portrait or landscape or 210 x 210mm square. Your inner (text) pages can be uncoated, silk or gloss, in weights ranging from 100gsm to 150gsm.
Paper options
Silk
Silk coated paper has a smooth feel with a discreet surface sheen. It offers excellent ink to paper contrast, and printed colours appear distinct and clear. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 150gsm)
Gloss
Gloss coated paper has a shiny surface and very smooth finish. Colour is sharp and stands out well. Ink dries quickly and the need for lamination is reduced. (Cover 250gsm - 350gsm; inner text 130gsm – 150gsm)
Premium uncoated
Our premium uncoated paper is absorbent. Printed inks appear flatter due to this absorbency, and the paper has a soft finish. A recycled option is available. (Cover 250gsm – 300gsm; inner text 100gsm – 120gsm)
Finishes
Matt lamination gives a soft, contemporary effect. Gloss lamination gives a higher quality shine finish than gloss card. Lamination is most useful with solid colours or images to enhance their vibrancy or where you want to protect your printed documents. The most popualr option is to matt laminate your cover.
