A4 Perfect Bound Booklets Printing in Croydon and London

A4 perfect bound booklets are a great choice. They have a flat spine and smooth edges. A neat and strong way to show your work. If you're after something that looks sharp, feels professional, and holds together beautifully, A4 perfect bound booklets are the way to go. Even if it's for a product catalogue, a corporate brochure, a school yearbook, or even a training manual, this format is the go-to choice for anything you want people to keep and flick through again.

At I You Print, we've been printing booklets in Croydon and London for years, fast, affordable, and always on point. In case you need a handful for a meeting or thousands for a launch, we'll get them printed, bound, and delivered with no hassle.

Two Sizes, Two Styles

For A4 booklets, there are two layout choices: portrait (tall) or landscape (wide). Portrait is more common, but landscape can be excellent for designs or images that need more space across the page.

A4 Portrait

This is your classic format. It opens like a standard book and works well for most business documents, reports, magazines, or course materials. If you're unsure what to go with, portrait's usually a safe bet.

A4 Landscape

A bit more creative. Landscape gives you wider pages, which are ideal for full-page images, portfolios, real estate brochures, and anything visual. It feels a bit more premium and modern and is often chosen by designers, architects, and marketing teams.

Page Counts from 40 to 88

Perfect binding needs some thickness, we start at 40 pages, and you can go up to 88 pages. That gives you plenty of space to fit in everything you need without cramming it in.

• 40–56 pages
• 60–72 pages
• 80–88 pages

If you are not sure how many pages you're at, send us your file, and we'll double-check it for you.

Inner Paper Options That Feel Right

The inside pages matter. That's where your content lives, and it needs to feel good in the hand and print clearly. We've got a full range of paper stocks, from lightweight to luxury:

Inner Page Paper Types:

• 90 gsm Premium Smooth White – Simple, clean, and easy on the eye.
• 100 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – Light but still crisp.
• 115 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – Slightly heavy.
• 120 gsm Uncoated – A natural, no-shine stock.
• 130 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – A perfect all-rounder.
• 150 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – Heavy and substantial.
• 170 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – Our premium option.

If you've got charts, diagrams, or a lot of full-colour images, we'd usually suggest gloss. For text and more understated looks, silk or uncoated might be better.

Covers That Add Impact

The cover is the first thing people see. It should feel as good as it looks sturdy, stylish, and fitting for what's inside. We offer a choice of 250 gsm and 300 gsm cover materials, with a few finishes to suit your style.

Cover Options:

• 250 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – Strong but flexible.
• 250 gsm Uncoated – Natural texture.
• 300 gsm Art Paper (Gloss or Silk) – A bit thicker, adds weight and durability.

Lamination Options for a Clean Finish

Lamination doesn't just protect your booklet, it changes the whole feel. If you want shiny, matte, or soft-touch velvet, we've got it:

• No Lamination – Clean and raw.
• One Side Gloss – Shiny and eye-catching.
• One Side Matte – Soft and stylish.
• One Side Soft Touch – Smooth like velvet.

We laminate only the cover, not the inside pages. This keeps your booklet looking good and cost-effective.

Fast Turnaround Options

Occasionally you need booklets the same day, so we offer flexible turnaround, including same-day printing.

• Same Day Express
• 1 Working Day
• 3–4 Working Days

You can collect from our Croydon shop, or we'll deliver in London and the UK.

Order the Quantity You Actually Need

No need to order a huge amount. We print from just 25 up to 5,000 copies, perfect for both small local events and large national campaigns.

Quantity Options:

• 25–100
• 100–1,000
• 1,000–5,000

If you need help figuring out the most cost-effective quantity for your job, we'll help you avoid over-ordering and wasting budget.

Most Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How many pages do I need for perfect binding?
A minimum of 40 pages is required for perfect binding. That's the minimum needed for the glue to properly hold the spine. Less than that? Please consider opting for stapled binding instead.

Q: Can I get a sample before I print?
Yes. We offer sample A4 perfect bound booklets on request. It's a good way to check quality before placing a big order.

Q: What's the difference between gloss and silk paper?
Gloss is shiny, bright, and perfect for colour-heavy designs. Silk is smooth and more muted, great for text or a classy look.

Q: How do I supply my artwork?
Send us a print-ready PDF with bleed and crop marks. Don't worry if you're not sure, we'll check it over before printing.
