What's the best binding for cookbooks?
Perfect binding is the preferred choice for cookbooks, offering a strong, professional finish that keeps every page neatly in place. For larger print runs, section-sewn binding is popular, providing extra durability and allowing the book to lie flatter for easier use.
What's the best internal stock for cookbooks?
For cookbook internals, 150 gsm and 170 gsm coated stocks are popular choices. Their high-quality finish makes images and photographs look vibrant and sharp, perfect for recipe pages filled with illustrations and photos.
What's the best cover stock for cookbooks?
We produce cookbooks in both softcover and hardcover formats. Softcovers are a lightweight, cost-effective option great for everyday use in the kitchen, while hardcovers offer a sturdy, premium finish that stands up to frequent handling. Softcovers work best on 256–350 gsm stock, while hardcovers use wrapped board for lasting durability and a polished look.
How long does it take?
Most softcover orders are completed in 5 - 7 working days, Hardcover Books in 10 - 12. Need it quicker? - Speak to one of our experts to discuss the possibilities.
