Perfect binding is a type of square binding that does not use staples, and instead solely relies upon glue. The staples inside the binding can sometimes cause small ridges in the spine. These paperbacks use 60# or heavier interior paper and 80# or heavier paper for the cover, then secure everything together with glue and two small staples or stitching.
Square binding creates a flat, squared-off spine. The quality and your professionalism hinges largely on the type of binding you choose. If you’re working on printing a comic book or any other graphics-heavy project, it’s important to understand all the methods of binding before placing an order. Self-publishing indie creators have multiple options to choose from, especially if their work has a higher number of pages. Comic books from major publishers typically use saddle stitch binding. Instead, most publishers make the bulk of their work available in paperback.Ĭomic book creators want to balance affordability and durability, but this can be difficult due to comics and graphics novels’ short length. The average consumer only reads fiction works a handful of times, so they don’t need every book they buy to be in hardcover. There are many binding techniques in book publishing, and they vary dramatically in durability and cost.
