Discover Our Book Binding Types

There are generally 4 types of book binding — Staple Bound (Saddle Stitch), Perfect Bound, Wiro Bound and Hardcover. Although they are often referred to by similar names, different binding types may work better for your book, depending on the size of your project and your specific needs.

Custom Size Book Printing

We offer custom size book printing, so you can make your books truly unique. This is perfect for printing square shaped books.

We do this by cutting a standard paper size down to fit the desired dimensions of your book. So when you place your order, choose a standard paper size that the height and width of your book design would fit inside.

When you upload your artwork, make sure that it is sized to print at your custom size. Then contact our customer services team, quoting your order number.

If you cannot fit your custom book size within the standard paper sizes on our website, please contact us and we will endeavour to get you a bespoke quote and get your job into production.

We created YouLovePrint to make professional book printing available to everyone online. As part of the PurePrint Group, we print everything ourselves in the UK on industry leading printing machines. Our team of print experts are committed to achieving the print quality that your books deserve.

Book Printing Help & Guides

Printing isn't that easy, so we have put together a blog that answers all of your questions on printing your artwork. From helpful how-to's and guides, to tips and printing inspiration - we've got you covered!

Book Printing Help FAQs

Should I upload single pages or double page spreads?
Saddle stitched and wiro bound books only require 1 print file PDF consisting of all pages in order (outside front cover, inside front cover, 3, 4, 5, etc, inside back cover, outside back cover) as single pages. For perfect bound and case bound books, we require a Cover file PDF with a spread design, and an Inner file PDF containing all pages in order as single pages.
Do I need to upload a separate cover file?
Only if your book is going to be perfect bound or case bound. Perfect bound books require a Cover file PDF of 2 spreads (Outer cover and Inner cover with spine). Case bound books require a Cover file PDF which must include an outer spread of your front cover, spine with 5mm hinges either side and back cover design, all surrounded by a 20mm bleed area. This is in addition to the Inner file which includes all pages in order as single pages.
What printing machine will my books be printed on?
For small runs, we tend to print your books on HP Indigos for offset digital printing and for larger runs of 1,000+ copies, we use Heidelberg Speedmasters for offset litho printing. For more information, please see our plant list.
Do I have to pay before I can upload my print files?
Nope. You can enjoy full use of our web-to-print platform and customer services without paying a penny. You only pay when you’re absolutely ready to print.
Which file types can I upload?
Our web-to-print system accepts PDF files. For the best results, we recommend CMYK colour artwork with a 300dpi resolution. The maximum file upload is 2GB. Please contact our team if your file size is larger and we'll help you get your file into the workflow. Please ensure that fonts are embedded in your PDF. And please thoroughly check your digital proofs prior to printing.
Can I preview my book before it goes to print?
Yes. Once you upload your artwork files, our online printing system has a book proofing feature to help you check your proofs, flag any issues and ask our customer service team any questions you may have before you send your job into production.
How do I calculate the spine width of my book?
The spine width is calculated and shown on the product screen once you have entered your specification. It will also be sent to you via email along with your order confirmation should you wish to upload your artwork later.
Will you charge VAT on my printed books?
No. Printed books are exempt from VAT.
