In short: Printseoul prints cookbooks from 100 copies in paperback or Wire-O (200 in hardcover), with laminated covers for wipe-clean durability and lay-flat Wire-O so the book stays open on a counter.
Binding options
- Wire-O: pages turn a full 360 degrees and the book lies flat or folds back on itself.
- Hardcover: a keepsake edition that lasts, from 200 copies.
- Perfect-bound paperback: the lowest-cost route for a larger run.
Paper and cover
Coated paper keeps food photography vivid, and matte lamination gives a durable, low-glare cover. Uncoated stock suits text-led, rustic cookbooks. See Wire-O binding for cookbooks for file setup notes.
Plan the binding margin
Wire-O punches a row of holes in the binding edge, so leave extra inside margin. The Page Layout guide covers binding edge and margins.
