Perfect Bound Booklets – 48 Page
A 48-page perfect bound booklet has a flat, square glued spine you can print a title on — the finish people expect from a product catalogue, a prospectus or a portfolio. It stands on a shelf, stacks neatly on a stand and feels like a finished publication rather than a stapled leaflet.
- 48 pages full colour throughout, including the 4-page wraparound cover
- Choose your finished size when you order: A5 (our recommended default), A4 or 148mm square
- 130gsm gloss text pages with a 250gsm gloss wraparound cover
- Perfect bound with a square glued spine — the spine can carry a title
- Quantities from 25 to 1000 booklets, priced instantly online
- Free collection from our Winfrith unit, or tracked UK delivery (free on orders over £75)
- Free prepress check on every order

Artwork: please supply the 44 inner pages as a print-ready PDF of single pages in reading order, and the cover as a separate file — we will confirm the exact spine width for your cover once you order. Pages should be your chosen finished size plus 3mm bleed, CMYK, 300dpi minimum, with fonts outlined or embedded. Keep text at least 5mm inside the trim and allow extra clearance in the gutter, because a glued spine does not open as flat as a stapled one. Not sure your file is right? Send it over and we will check it free of charge.
Need a different page count, stock or finish? A laminated or soft-touch cover, silk or uncoated pages, a premium textured cover or a bespoke size are all easy to arrange — just ask us for a quote.
VAT. Prices shown exclude VAT. Booklets of this kind are zero-rated printed matter, so there is no VAT to add — a laminated cover does not change that, because the item as a whole is a booklet. Zero-rating does not apply to items designed to be written on, so where the finished job falls outside zero-rating we reserve the right to apply VAT at the standard rate, and if this is identified after despatch we will issue a VAT-only invoice for the difference.
