Large Print Crossword Dictionary Printing | Section Sewn Perfect Bound Reference Books

Project Overview

This large-format dictionary project demonstrates advanced manufacturing solutions for ultra-high-page-count reference books that require both durability and reader comfort.

Produced in a finished size of 178 × 232 mm, the book contains 1,072 pages printed in black and white on lightweight 45gsm dictionary paper, helping reduce overall weight while maintaining excellent opacity and readability.

To ensure long-term structural integrity, the text sections are sewn before binding and combined with PUR perfect binding technology. This hybrid construction provides stronger page retention than conventional perfect binding while allowing the book to open comfortably for daily use.

The cover is manufactured from 300gsm C1S artboard with full-color printing and matte lamination, delivering a professional appearance suitable for educational, academic, and commercial publishing markets.

This type of binding solution is widely used for dictionaries, reference manuals, educational resources, legal publications, technical handbooks, and other high-pagination projects requiring exceptional durability.
