Perfect Bound & Print Finishing Solutions

A print job is not finished once the pages slide off the press; there are many print finishing jobs that may still need to be done to the product; chiefly the binding of it. Print finishing includes lots of possibilities, like lamination, trimming, coating, mounting, image transfer and many others.

Most printing companies will offer print finishing as part of their services. When print finishing includes binding, perfect bound will be the one most used for professional looking longer documents or manuals. Perfect bound includes shaving the edges of the pages to perfection and then sticking with hot glue. The only drawback will be that the document will not lie completely flat with perfect bound, so perfect bound wouldn't be suitable for things like reference manuals. When looking for a printing service that offers print finishing and perfect bound, a good idea is to use a company which works with many different print services, as they can better match a company with their print finishing needs, and obtain the best price.
