Integrally bound books (flexi binding) represent a hybrid between hard and soft bound books, it offers a higher perceived value than a traditional paperback. The sewn books, which are embellished with a stronger and soft plasticized cover is pleasing to the eye and touch, and simultaneously offers an enduring unchanged appearance (The case of the book is frequently made of art paper above 210 gsm). It is suitable for all contents and shapes and for customers with special, more modern wishes who love to always have books with them or for more demanding environments which require a more endurable book.

A paper back a soft cover book putting all the pages or signatures together, roughens and flattens the edge, then a flexible adhesive attaches the paper cover to the spine. Also, some books may combine glue with sewn together signatures. A Soft Cover Binding is ranging from regular perfect binding, sewn soft cover to soft cover with flaps.

• Perfect bound - Perfect binding is the fastening of the book block to a cover spine using a flexible glue. The page ends are left rough to better absorb the glue. It is commonly used for soft cover books;
• Sewn in sections - Sewn binding involves the sewing of the book block to the cover. Sewn bound books and hardcover books are similarly constructed, but sewn books do not have the hard covers.

Cover types:

• without flaps – when block and cover is trimmed to the same size;
• with one flap in – when cover is narrower than a block on the flap folding line;
• with two flaps in – when cover is wider than a block on flaps folding lines.

Saddle stitching binds the sheets together through the fold in the center of several pages. It is the form of binding commonly used on comic books and magazines.

Mostly periodical publications, exercise books, advertising material is bound in this way (usually up to 96 pages).
