Book Binding Methods
Choose from 7 different ways we can bind your publication.
This is an extra strong and cost-effective way of binding using polyurethane reactive (PUR) glue that’s suitable for heavier papers and high-use and long-life items.
This is how hard backed books are produced, whether the case is made of printed paper, cloth or finest leather. Whichever you choose, this is the most durable and high quality binding available.
This is a very strong binding, ideal for high-quality, long-lasting publications, and those that you must be able to open flat, without them splitting along the spine – such as brochures, catalogues and annual reports.
This is the simplest and most cost-effective way of binding with adhesive. It’s suitable for most items and produces an attractive and durable end result.
This is a good economic way of producing pamphlets, leaflets, etc. when you don’t want the expense of adhesive binding. This method uses staples to hold the sections together on the spine.
A beautiful, safe and alternative style of binding that just uses thread – no adhesive or staples – and is great for creative or quirky projects. We stitch a single line of cotton in any colour down the edge of collated pages or through the centre of folded pages.
Burst Binding creates a very strong and cost-effective binding on certain materials (such as the fibrous stock used for paperbacks) but a weaker one on others, when we recommend perfect or PUR binding.
