Perfect bound = Paperback, laminated 280gsm card cover, minimum 48 pages. Case bound = Hardback, laminated Printed Paper Case (PPC), minimum 48 pages. Saddle stitched booklets are folded and stapled and use a laminated 160gsm cover printed in full colour one side only, maximum 48 pages (min 4 pages). Wiro-o booklets include black or white wires and laminated covers printed in full colour one side only. Other specifications available on request.
Page count refers to the number of sides (both printed and unprinted). It is double the quantity of sheets.
Optional Extras
We offer the facility to include full colour pages within your text. If you have a page printed in colour on one side and in black and white on the other, the nature of the printing process means that we have to charge for 2 pages. Please consider this when creating your quote.
Ordering Information
