What is the thinnest book you can perfect bind?
Most perfect binding equipment can accommodate a minimum thickness of 1/16 inch. Lay flat and PUR binding requires a greater minimum thickness of 1/4 inch. To determine how many pages are necessary to meet these minimums, find out the specified paper’s ppi (pages per inch) for the desired finish and basis weight. Your paper representative can help with this information and your printer/binder can make a bound paper dummy for your review.
