Catalogue Binding Methods

PUR binding, perfect binding, case binding or sewn – what works for you?
The binding used for catalogue printing can vary; here are some of the binding options we provide at Action Press:

Example of perfect bound brochure printing

Perfect Binding

Perfect binding involves gluing pages and the cover together at the spine with an adhesive to create a book with a flat spine and square edges. This binding option is great for premium brochures with a high quantity of pages.

Example of stapled and saddle stitched brochures

PUR Binding

Like perfect binding, PUR binding (polyurethane reactive) involves glueing the pages and cover together at that spine. However, it uses a higher-quality adhesive to perfect binding to offer more flexibility when the catalogue is pressed flat.

examples of wirobound brochures

Sewn Binding

Sewn, also known as thread sewn, binding works by being held together by multiple threads and adhesive. They offer a huge amount of strength and durability, and are ideal for publications with many pages.

Example Of Perfect Bound Brochure Printing

Case Binding

Case binding is the traditional method of binding hardback books and some notebooks. This type of binding produces products with a square spine and form a very solid and long-lasting option. This binding type is great for a premium finish.

Catalogue Cover Types

When it comes to covers, budget and target audience play the biggest part. At Action Press, we offer a variety of cover types to match any budget and audience. Here are some of the options we provide:

Example of perfect bound brochure printing

Softbacks

If budget is your overriding factor, soft bound options are perfect, and don’t see you sacrificing a high-end look. For example, products such as school prospectus’ and product catalogues look great with a softback cover.

Example of stapled and saddle stitched brochures

Hardbacks

If you’re creating something aimed at a very high-end market and needs to be long-lasting and durable, such as for luxury products or aesthetic coffee-table books, then investing in a hard cover may be the best option.

examples of wirobound brochures

Paper-Over-Board

A popular choice which involves a front-page image printed directly onto the hard front cover. An example of this is the modern cookbook, or luxury magazines. The end result is a publication with a rich image with the option of a range of finishes.

Example Of Perfect Bound Brochure Printing

Dust Jackets

Dust jackets protect your cover from damage and provide a high-quality advertisement for the publication. Dust jackets can be the right choice for covers, and are great for presenting information as well as using on published literature.

I chose Action Press, to print an A4 booklet, rather than an internet publishing website, because I wanted discuss options on paper quality, images etc (which was really useful, as I have no experience in publishing). Trevor and the team were very helpful, with not only advice but technical assistance in all aspects. The price was good, turnaround very quick and the service was excellent all round - I will definitely use them again.

Excellent fast efficient service top rated been using this company over 40 years
We have worked a lot with Action Press who always do a great job for us. We recently produced a new large scale promotional display banner and Action Press gave us a competitive quote and lots of support to ensure that the finished item was exactly what we wanted, and we were delighted with the result.

After trying a few 'cheap' online printing companies, getting confused with uploading my artwork and then my printing arriving wrong, I decided to use Action Press instead. With Action Press you get put in touch with a print expert who sorts out your artwork and takes the care to help make sure your goods are correct. Would recommend this company

From my very first enquiry to Action Press I was given a huge amount of help and guidance as to how I could best get a really important family project printed. It was to be in a magazine format - something they are obviously excellent at delivering, but still it was nerve wracking for me. Action Press were there for me every step of the way. I was self publishing on a budget but I may as well have been one of their really important big spending clients for all the attention I got. Everyone I dealt with - Catherine, Trevor and Pete took my concerns seriously; some of
them were just the panic of an amateur yet they gave me the confidence to press on. The final result is impeccable and honestly way beyond my expectations. I cannot recommend Action Press more highly for their customer service, professionalism and attention to detail. If I have the energy I will create an excuse for another project and pick up the phone to them straight away. Thank you all. You are absolutely brilliant!

Really quick to respond to enquiries. Prices are competitive with other suppliers. We wanted a slightly unusual corporate brochure, square with a fold out page at the back, which wasn't a problem (not all printers can do this). Brochures look fantastic, just what we wanted and the postcards we ordered also look smashing. All delivered to time. Highly recommend.

Action Press never fails to impress. The finish of the print is always great, and I can't fault the customer service at all. They always work with us to ensure we recieve the product by our deadline. I have only been working with them for a short time, but my company has been for years. I now wouldn't go elsewhere for print, business and personal. I can't recommend them enough.
