There’s a reason it’s called Perfect Binding

Perfect binding definitely lives up to its name. No matter what the material, perfect binding completely transforms it into something completely special. Book binding using the Perfect binding technique for example, has allowed this traditionally somewhat dull print form to reach new heights of quality and sophistication. But, while this binding service is ideal for books or magazine printing, it doesn’t end there. Perfect binding is also excellent for photobooks, novels, catalogues, or perhaps certain academic material such as manuals or thesis. Anything looks and feels better when perfect bound. At City Printing we understand the importance of excellent binding, which is why we give everything from a printed magazine to a precious first novel our finest level of service.

A world of magazine printing options in London

Whether it’s a magazine for your estate agency, a quarterly publication for your investors or simply a regular production run for your publication house, City Printing offers an extensive range of print options that are designed to meet a variety of specifications of magazine publishers. This service is also well suited for perfect bound magazine printing or niche items such as large photobooks or a pocket-sized novel. And, just to make sure you end up with the perfect finished product, you can also choose from options regarding the cover material, lamination, and colour/black and white printing options. The same goes for the inner pages, where you can choose the material and printing style.

In-House Cover Art

Anything special enough to warrant perfect binding deserves a cover that does it justice. After all, the days of not judging books by their covers are long over. The cover is now a major selling point of any book or document; the more eye-catching it is, the more desirable it is to readers. Don’t let your masterpiece – be it a photobook, magazine, or novel – go to waste. Our in-house, full design service is here to help. Even if you don’t have any text, images, or artwork, we can create a cover design that will help your cover dazzle.

Special Finishes

Digital printing has brought a great deal of versatility to short run printing. While these may not have been available in the past, short run printing jobs can now benefit from special finishes such as digital spot UV and digital white ink. Once only available via screen or offset methods, spot UV coating is now available without the cost of making static plates or screens. Similarly, it is now possible to digitally print white ink, which also saves printing costs and lowers turnaround times. We are proud to offer these special finishes to our perfect bound books.
