Unlimited potential with Book binding techniques
We pride ourselves in being specialists in book binding and box making. We appreciate that sometimes understanding all of the techniques available can be a bit overwhelming, so we have tried to simplify and show the various different types of book binding below.
PUR Binding
A softcover book binding method, a form of perfect binding, where the pages and cover are glued together.
Case Binding
Gets its name from the hard exterior ‘case’. Pages are sewn together in sections and attached to the inside of the case.
Layflat Binding
Books lay completely flat once opened, allowing text and images to flow seamlessly across the spread.
Japanese Binding
A decorative exposed stitching technique ideal for binding single sheets of paper, with front and back covers.
Sussex Binding
Alternative to case binding, where boards are attached to the front cover without encasing the spine, leaving the spine exposed.
Quarter Binding
Where spine is covered in a different material to the front and back covers – it is usually 1/4 spine and 3/4 cover, usually different materials are used to create a creative finish.
Post Screw Binding
Where pages are held in place between two outer cases. Post screws can be either external or internal.
Wiro & Coil Binding
Wiro Binding and Coil Binding are forms of binding which secure documents professionally and allow pages to lay flat when opened.
Folders and Loose Leaf Binding
A means of ring binding in which pages are bound together by either 2D or 4D metal rings.
Keeping it together – stitching techniques
Apart from gluing there are a number of different styles of stitching pages together, each used for different applications, but all providing another creative way to improve the overall look of your project.
