Perfect Bound Printing, also known as adhesive binding, applies an adhesive to the spine of gathered pages which, when dry, keeps them securely bound. Commonly, a soft paper or paperboard cover (or paperback) is attached over the binding adhesive. Perfect bound publications have rectangular backbones. Publications bound by Perfect Bound Printing in Los Angeles include paperback books, telephone books, Catalogs, and magazines. (About 40% of national magazines are perfect bound.)

Perfect bound has certain both advantages and disadvantages.
Advantages of technology:
- High performance at an affordable price

- Speed of manufacturing
- A wide range of quantities of stapled sheets (thickness of the spine may be from 6 to 50 mm).

The main disadvantage of Perfect Bound Printing is the inability to put the publication disclosed.

Guidelines for designing perfect bound publications
- Crossovers (images extending from the left-hand page onto the right-hand one) require extra care. Avoid putting critical image parts, such as faces, on the spine.
- Set up the document to the final trim size and make sure there is a bleed of at least 4 millimeters or 0.125″.
- If you supply the document as PDF files to the printer, supply as single pages – not spreads. There shouldn’t be a need to include crop marks on the PDF pages. If you do include them then make sure they are offset by an amount that is greater than the bleed amount so that the crop marks don’t print in the bleed area.
