What is Perforating?
Perforating is the process of creating a line of small, precise holes in the paper, allowing pages to be torn out cleanly and easily. In books, this is ideal for forms, coupons, worksheets, or any pages designed to be removed without damaging the rest of the book.”
can I perforate all binding types?
Yes we can perforate pages in all bind types, but horizontal perforations are not available on short-run saddle-stitched books.
PERF
Yes, we can apply spot gloss from as few as 10 copies, so adding a standout finish to your custom book order has never been easier. For larger runs over 1,000 copies, it may be more economical to use spot UV process instead — contact us to discuss the best option for your project.”
