PUR Perfect-Bound Catalogues – Catalogue and Book Printing
PUR perfect-bound catalogues look like a book. They have a flat spine on which the title can be printed and fit neatly on a shelf. They suit extensive product catalogues, annual reports, proceedings, chronicles and self-published books.
We produce A4, A5, A6 and 210 × 210 mm formats with 4+48 to 4+256 pages and a 250g coated cover with matte foil. Inner pages can be on 130g coated paper for photos or 90g offset paper for text publications. You can order from 10 pieces.

Why PUR perfect binding
Polyurethane PUR adhesive is stronger and more flexible than standard glue. The pages hold even with frequent browsing, the catalogue opens better and the binding withstands heat and cold. That is why PUR is the standard for catalogues and books with a larger number of pages.
Printing books and proceedings
Perfect binding with 90g offset inner pages is ideal for self-published books, poetry collections, municipal chronicles, conference proceedings or theses in larger quantities. We calculate the spine width according to the number of pages and paper before printing so you can prepare the cover.
Extent, printing and production
The extent is stated as 4 cover pages plus inner pages. We print double-sided, in full colour and with bleed; production takes about 10 working days after artwork approval. For thinner catalogues up to 60 pages, V1 saddle stitching is cheaper. We will quote a different cover, paper or higher quantity via the contact form.
