Looking to give your catalog, magazine, annual report or product brochure a high-end look and feel? Perfect-bound booklets let you say it all with a sophisticated touch. They feature a sturdy glued spine that stands up to being flipped through again and again, so your information or presentation will stay ready to impress.

Great for higher page counts

If you have a lot to share, perfect-bound book printing gives you the space to do it. With up to 1,086 inside pages, you can share an extensive list of your products and services, corporate reports or even creative portfolios. And with matte, glossy, uncoated and recycled paper options – as well as a variety of lamination options – you can get a look that suits your booklet content, and your business style.

How to get started

Since the page count you choose affects how you order your design, it’s essential to use our design template to get started. You can find it under ‘Specs & Templates’ on this page. Once you’ve generated your custom template, download it in a format that matches your design software. After that, you can start building your booklet design file, referring to our perfect-bound booklet guidelines to make sure things like page order and bleed are all on track. Finally, finish up by uploading your artwork as a PDF file, selecting paper preferences and reviewing your design.

It arrived late, but the book images and graphics look great. The pages and covers are thin but overall a nice booklet
Response from Vistaprint Customer Care Team:
We are happy to hear that the images and graphics looked great in the Perfect-Bound Booklets. We regret that the delivery was late and the covers and pages were thinner than expected. Your feedback is important and will be shared with our quality team for future considerations. From reviewing the order details, the timeframe shows the order was delivered before the due date. However, we are pleased to see that our support team was contacted and was helpful with a resolution. We trust that was helpful.

I created a book for a friend and the process couldn’t be any easier. Options were great and the final book was absolutely beautiful. My friend couldn’t believe I created it. It looked that professional!

For a successful print, please be sure to download a customized template under ‘Specs and Templates.’ Plus, you can find detailed instructions on how to design your custom booklets by downloading our PDF guide.

Perfect binding is a popular bookbinding method that uses a strong adhesive along the spine to create a clean, professional finish. Unlike staple binding, which uses metal staples to bind the pages, perfect binding involves gluing the pages to a sturdy cover. This gives it a more polished, seamless look.

Perfect-bound booklets are great if you need a lot of pages for your project, and if you’re looking for a more professional, polished look. We recommend them for high-end product catalogs, annual reports, course materials, company brochures, trade show materials and catalogs. We have more booklet offerings if you’re looking for lower page count options or different bindings.

Your perfect-bound booklets can include 20-1,086 pages – this includes 4 cover pages (front cover, inside front cover, back cover and inside back cover). For example, a 36-page booklet = 4 cover pages + 20 inside pages. You can select your page count in increments of 2: 40 pages, 42 pages, 44 pages and so on.

No, you’re not required to – you’ll just need to include blank pages in your print-ready PDF. But if you’d like to utilize all the space and add content to all 4 cover pages, you’re welcome to do that, too.

We have the following paper options:

Cover paper

  • Stock: Matte, glossy or uncoated
  • Thickness: Premium (80 lb. cover), premium plus (100 lb. cover) or deluxe (120/ 130 lb. cover)

Inside paper

  • Stock: Stock: Matte, glossy, uncoated or recycled
  • Thickness: Budget (60/ 70 lb. text), standard (80 lb. text) or standard plus (100 lb. text)

We don’t offer sample booklets, but you can order as few as 1 booklet. This is a great way to see how your printed booklet looks before you order a larger amount.
