Products
ACCEA's Perfect-Bound Booklet Printing
Perfect binding is a binding method where the pages are secured along the spine with adhesive and attached to a wraparound cover.
It provides a clean, professional finish and is ideal for catalogs, magazines, books, and other documents with higher page counts.
This method is frequently used for catalogs, brochures, company profiles, training materials, reports, portfolios, and more.

Perfect-Bound Booklet Printing Process
Printing (Cover & Inner Pages)
The thicker cover paper and the collated inner pages are printed separately with high precision.
Binding
The inner pages' spine is milled for better glue adhesion, hot-melt adhesive is applied, and the cover is wrapped and clamped firmly to form square, durable spine edges.
Three-Side Trimming
Once the glue cures, the top, bottom, and outer edges are trimmed with a precision cutter to ensure clean and even borders.

Page Count & Quantity

-
We're sorry, but these page counts are not supported through the EC order form. Please submit your order details here.
Note: Perfect binding cannot be used if the spine width exceeds 30mm, due to structural limitations. Depending on the page count and paper thickness, we may not be able to accommodate your request even after consultation via the page above. Thank you for your understanding. - Q5. Is there a limit on the quantity (number of copies)?
-
You may enter any quantity freely through the EC order form. Please note that the additional charge for spine printing is a flat fee, regardless of the number of copies ordered. Please see Q12 for details.
