SQUARE BACK BINDING (from 25 to 550 sheets)
Square Back Binding is a type of binding that gives a document a professional and elegant look. It is available in sizes from A6 to A4.
A perfect bound document consists of a cover that surrounds the inner sheets. Different thicknesses of paper are usually chosen for these elements.
The cover is made up of a single sheet and the edge must be included in the layout. This sheet holds your document together like a book and an edge must be provided.
To prepare your cover according to the thickness of your document. You can refer to the slice thickness calculation table opposite.
CUSTOMISING THE EDGE OF YOUR DOCUMENT
To personalise the edge of your document, for example by writing a title and adding a logo, you have three options:
1. You are familiar with design software
Using the table above, determine the thickness of your document and provide us with the files in the correct format.
2. If you are not familiar with design software but would like to create your slice yourself
Send us the files for the 1st and 4th covers, as well as the spine separately, and we will make the joint to create your glued square back cover. If you wish to have a 2nd and 3rd cover, we will include them at that time.
3. You want to have a simple title on your spine
Leave us a message with the title you would like to have.
Minimum thickness to order your catalogue: 40 double-sided pages (20 sheets).
Maximum thickness: 6.5 cm.
To calculate the thickness of your catalogue which will also be the thickness of the edge in mm:
Number of paper sheets 100g x 0.1
Number of sheets of paper 115g x 0.1
Number of sheets of paper 135g x 0,12
Example for a 200-page double-sided catalogue(115g): 100 sheets x 0.1 = 10mm.
Minimum size of the edge to have text printed on it: 8 mm.
When we bind your document we will have to cut the paper. To make sure that we do not damage your printouts we recommend :
Document edge
Do not place elements such as text or logos within 3 mm of the edge of your finished document.
Binding side
On this side we recommend that you leave a 10 mm safety margin before placing your visual elements. For a perforated document (2 or 4 holes) we recommend 18 mm safety margin.
In the safety zone shown in turquoise in our illustrations you can place your elements wherever you want.

The cover of your glued square back brochure
The cover of a perfect bound brochure is most often made of a paper that is slightly heavier than the paper you choose for the inside pages (usually between 80 and 135 g/m2). A semi-rigid paper of 170 g/m2 matte or glossy is an excellent choice for the cover of your glued square back brochure.
We then advise you to perfect the cover of your glued square back brochure by adding a lamination:
- a matte lamination will give a sober and modern look to your glued square back brochure.
- A glossy lamination will highlight the colors of the illustrations in your square back brochure.
- A "soft touch" lamination (peach skin) offers a soft and pleasant grip.
Finally, at Copymage, we offer to apply a selective varnish, a 3D varnish or gilding on the artist's signature on the cover, the photo of the latest garment model, an element of your company's graphic identity or on the title of your square-bound brochure on the cover.
