Perfect Binding has come up with an affordable way
to perfect bind small quantities of books using book tape
on the spine. These books do not use the traditional wrap-around
covers, but are still perfect-bound. The tape version
works well with small quantities and the home/self publisher.
You can use a standard size as 8.5" x 11", 5.5"
x 8.5" and 7" x 8.5" or a custom size of
your choice. This allows you to print your own text and
covers, the same size, at home or at a nearby copy/print
shop giving you more control in the printing of your book.. |

For
example, you may have printed your 1/2" book on
8.5" x 11" sheets and want a wrap around cover.
Here is the set up for an 8.5" x 11" book
cover.
8.5" x 11" for Front and Back Covers
1/2" x 11" for the Spine width
1/8" bleed which most covers have. .
That totals a minimum of 17 3/4" for the width.
The
tape version set up. We normally use a 2" wide
tape. A 1/2" spine would leave 1 1/2" of tape
to split between the front and back covers. That would
mean 3/4" tape would be on each cover. If centering
your design on the front cover, t looks better to center
your design between where the edge of the tape will
be and the finished cut on the face of the book. |
In
addition, when you bind a book with a wrap-around cover,
you need to provide extra copies of both covers and
text to cover any losses during the binding process.
That could be quite an extra expense if you have a thick
book.
The tape version involves perfect binding the front
and back covers with the text, all of which are the
same size. After binding, the glued spine is covered
with a good quality 2" book tape. Books supplied
as 8.5" x 11" will have a 3-sided finished
trim (as all books), and in most cases, will cut no
smaller than 8.25" x 10.75". In addition,
there is no need to print extras, since there are rarely
any losses with this process. Nevertheless, depending
on the size of your book, a wrap-around cover may be
more economical.

versues the wrap-around cover
prices. You will need to keep in mind the cost of printing
all covers to decide which method to use. |
