Tampa Book Binding & Book Printing

When you decide to print a book or catalog, you are met with a long list of bookbinding styles that can be overwhelming. Since the early creation of the movable-type printing press, many bookbinding methods have been used but which one is right for you?

PUR binding or perfect binding is a technique where the pages and the cover are glued together at the spine, and the other three sides of the book are cut with precision to produce perfect edges. Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) is regarded as the most durable bookbinding adhesive and is what we use to maintain consistency in quality.

The benefits of perfect bookbinding (PUR) include:

• The flexibility allows the pages of your book to be spread wide open without compromising or cracking its spine.
• The temperature-resistant adhesive that isn't jeopardized by extreme heat or cold.
• Versatility in the types of paper that can be used for the book's pages.
• Thin density in the adhesive makes it almost impossible to see, even when closely examined.

Perfect bound books are typically paperback books, which allows them to be produced inexpensively. We offer fair pricing, competitive with any rates you find in the industry. Our team has many years of experience binding and the confidence to seamlessly help you select the appropriate material.

In addition to perfect binding (PUR), we offer square back saddle stitch and coil binding. During the order process, we will put our heads together to determine the perfect stitch and binding method for your needs.
