Three ways to bind a book.

The binding sets how your book opens, how long it lasts, and how many pages it can hold. Here is how our three in-house softcover styles compare.

Perfect bound

32 to 800pp

A squared, glued spine just like a store-bought paperback. The professional default for novels, manuals and thicker books, and the only binding you can print on the spine. Need it to lie flat? Lay-flat perfect binding is available as a custom-quote option.

OpensNo*
SpinePrintable spine
Best forNovels, manuals

Wire-O

24 to 290pp

A premium twin-loop metal coil that also lies flat, with a crisper, more refined look than plastic spiral. A favorite for planners, notebooks and presentation reports.

OpensLies flat
SpineTwin-loop spine
Best forPlanners, reports

Saddle stitch

8 to 92pp

Folded sheets stapled at the spine. The most economical option for thin books, zines, programs and short photo books up to 92 pages.

OpensOpens flat
SpineFolded spine
Best forZines, programs
* Perfect bound can also be made lay-flat, and spiral/coil binding is available, as custom-quote options. Request a quote.

How to print a book.

From a manuscript on your screen to a bound book in your hands, in five steps.

01

Plan your specifications

Choose your binding, trim size, page count and paper. Not sure what fits? Order a sample kit or talk to a print specialist before you commit.

02

Pick paper and cover

Match the interior weight to your content and choose a cover stock and lamination. Heavier covers and a soft-touch film add durability and feel.

03

Prepare a print-ready file

Export a 300 DPI CMYK PDF with 0.125 inch bleed. Perfect bound books take the interior and cover as separate files, the rest take one ordered PDF.

04

Review your proof

Approve a free digital soft proof, or order a printed hard proof for exact color. Production starts one business day after you approve.

05

We print, bind and ship

Your book is printed and bound in Richmond, California and shipped carbon-neutral in recycled packaging, straight to your door.

Stocks that read well and tread lightly.
