With various new technologies and innovative ways to achieve beautiful print products, it is important to remember that traditional binding can create stunning results. We are true believers in crafting memorable brand impressions.
Despite contrary beliefs, a book is judged by its cover. And that is why a beautifully created product is essential when presenting printed material to a client.
Our traditional binding techniques are completed with meticulous attention to detail. Here are the four most common methods.
PUR binding involves a type of adhesive binding that glues pages together. During this binding process, a thin layer of adhesive is spread across the spine. A paper cover is then folded over the top to create a finished product.
This type of traditional printing is commonly used for binding books, magazines and brochures and ensures a strong and durable finish.
Saddle stitching involves folded sheets that are gathered, one inside the other, and then stapled through the fold like using wire staples.
The staples pass through the folded creased from the outside, clinched between the centre pages. Usually, two staples are used, but larger printing may require more staples along the spine. The staples used come in a range of colours.
Case binding uses varying thicknesses of board. This is usually covered in a variety of specialist materials or paper to create a hardcover or brochure.
Board weights for case binding normally range from 1500mic to 3000mic.
This method of machine sewing involves sewing through the fold of a single section brochure. This is achieved by using an industrial sewing machine. Its thread is available in a range of colours.
Our blog, Traditional Book Binding Techniques, looks at each of these traditional binding methods in more detail.
