What do we mean by "paperback"?

A paperback book refers to any book with a soft cover—most often referenced for perfect bound books as well. Paperbacks can also be saddle-stitched booklets, magazines, or even spiral-bound books. If it’s got a soft cover and looks like a book, it fits the paperback category.

On this page, we focus on perfect bound paperback books—which feature a clean, squared spine and are ideal for longer reads and professional use. We also proudly bind books with PUR glue, instead of the traditional EVA glue used in perfect binding, as it provides greater strength, durability and doesn’t crack when you open up a book, even with heavier paper stocks or frequent handling. This method is sometimes called PUR binding and has proven itself as the best choice for any perfect bound paperback that’s built to last.
