Print That’s Made to Measure
Say goodbye to size restrictions - our custom-size Perfect Bound Booklets are here to give your ideas the space they deserve. Whether you’re designing a unique format for a creative campaign or tailoring your content to fit perfectly within a specific layout, we’ll bring your vision to life without compromise. With high-definition print, precision trimming, and sleek binding that’s as durable as it is stylish, this is premium printing that bends to your brief.
Premium Quality, Personal Touch
From cover to cover, quality is at the heart of everything we do. Printed on FSC®-certified stock, you can choose from silk for a smooth, sophisticated finish or uncoated paper for a more tactile, writable feel. With three different inner paper thicknesses to match your booklet’s purpose, plus a choice of matt, gloss, or velvet lamination for the cover, you’ve got complete control over how your booklet looks and feels. Want to go bold? Spot UV and foil finishes are available to add that extra sparkle.
Designed Around You
Perfect for portfolios, brand lookbooks, catalogues, and more - our custom-size booklets give you the flexibility to make every page count. Whether you need a compact handbook or a larger, impactful layout, this product adapts to you. And with our trained studio team on hand to help fine-tune your file or offer expert advice, ordering is smoother than ever.
The best paper type depends on how your booklet will be used. Silk is a smooth, professional all-rounder, uncoated is best for writable pages, and gloss gives a high-shine finish that makes colours more vibrant.

You can choose a self cover option, or go for a thicker cover with thinner inner pages.
A popular choice is 150gsm silk inner pages with a 350gsm silk cover this allows for you to see the thickness contrast between the two stocks, another popular, more affordable option is the self cover option.
‘Pp’ refers to printed pages. Four of these pages are used for the cover (front, back and inside covers).
Inner pages are printed on our Truepress, while covers are printed lithographically or on our Indigo press.
Booklets are then bound using StitchLiner or Muller machines.
We use our state-of-the-art Landa Nanopraphic press to print your book pages and then bind them together with your cover stock on either a Horizon or our Kolbus KM600 depending on the quantity ordered.
Upload your artwork using our website uploader after ordering, where you can proof and approve it.
