Perfect binding requires the book to be a minimum of . 125” thick otherwise the pages might not glue properly and could fall out.

How many pages can you staple bind?
Rule Of Thumb: If your publication has up to 40 pages then we recommend staple binding it (also called wire stitching or saddle stitching). If it has 40 pages or more then you should go for perfect binding (also called PUR Binding). Both options are possible for your zine, art book, photobook, catalogue or brochure.
Why do you need a page count that is a multiple of 4?
Why are page counts given in multiples of four? Most types of binding require booklets to be printed with interior pages in multiples of four. This is because the pages aren't printed individually, but rather on larger sheets, called 'parent sheets'.
