Expertise in Perfect Binding

Perfect binding is proven to be the strongest form of adhesive binding, delivering consistent finishing results that give your printed piece a professional feel. It gives an exquisite touch to any catalog with its eye-catching design and unique size that is sure to stand out in your customer’s mailbox. It utilizes a wrap-around cover, which gives you the opportunity to create truly unique designs.

Although perfect binding is best known for binding thick catalogs, Arandell has come to be known for its unique ability to perfect bind pieces as thin as 1/8”. Thin perfect binding can give your catalog the extra boost it needs to catch your customer’s eye.

Arandell’s perfect binding machines are capable of finishing a variety of printed catalog formats and sizes, and can integrate pieces produced from a multitude of print platforms- commercial web offset printing, sheet fed printing or digital printing.
