Benefits of Paperback Printing

One major advantage of custom paperback printing is its lower cost compared to hardcover printing. Choosing a thick hardcover typically adds about US$1/$2 more per book, which can be saved by opting for a more accessible paperback. Research shows that readers are more likely to make an impulse purchase of a paperback book than a hardcover one. This is understandable since affordable paperbacks don’t seem as expensive, making it easier for readers to pick them up. Of course, the exact savings depend on the specifications you choose and the desired print run for your custom paperback printing. Curious about the cost of printing a paperback book? We’d be happy to calculate it for you.

How a Paperback is made

  • Single-Sided Coated Sulfate Board, Standard 240/250 gsm: The cover typically uses this type of board.
  • Rough Interior Surface: The inside of this material has a rough texture, ideal for binding the spine (where the glue is applied).
  • Smooth Exterior Surface: The outside is smooth, perfect for printing eye-catching images.
  • Laminated Finish: A laminated finish adds a luxurious look and protects the print from damage.
  • Lamination Options: You can choose from matte, gloss, linen texture, or soft-touch finishes.
  • Special Finishes: To create an even greater impact, you can add features like foil stamping, UV spot coating, or embossing.

 

Perfect Bound or Sewn Binding

Perfect binding, also known as glued binding, involves attaching the printed pages to the cover with adhesive, and then trimming the book to size. It’s the most budget-friendly option for paperbacks. If you’re looking for something more durable, a sewn binding might be the way to go. This method uses thread along with glue, making the book open more smoothly and increasing its durability—perfect for books that will see a lot of use, especially if they feature coated paper. If you’re interested in something unique, like an OTA or Swiss binding, we can do that too. We offer fully customized paperback printing to meet your specifications. Not sure which binding style suits your book best? We’re here to help guide you through your options.
