210mm x 210mm Square Perfect Bound Booklets & Brochures
Square perfect-bound books offer a modern, design-led format that's ideal for lookbooks, portfolios, product catalogues and visual publications.
The balanced proportions give layouts a contemporary feel, helping imagery and typography stand out without feeling cramped.
The glued square spine creates a clean, book-quality finish that feels substantial and professional, even at higher page counts.
Combined with full-colour printing, this format works equally well for image-heavy content and structured editorial layouts.
Fineline produces square perfect-bound books to a consistently high standard, with reliable turnaround options to keep your project on schedule.
If you need help preparing your artwork, our team is always happy to advise, and you'll also find handy page layout guides available to download under the Artwork Guidelines & Templates tab.
Your square perfect-bound book will be printed in full colour on your choice of silk or uncoated stock, then finished with a strong glued square spine for a neat, polished appearance.
Pages are trimmed on all edges to create a tidy, well-balanced book that feels durable and professional.
This format supports higher page counts than stapled booklets and is well-suited to publications designed to be kept, displayed or revisited.
Standard and Express turnaround options are available to give you flexibility when working to deadlines.
Every order includes a free basic technical artwork check before printing, and delivery is included as standard.
