one of the most important decisions you need to make when designing a book is to do with the book binding. There are several types of book binding and the choice of which one to use will depend on the following.
Here is a list of the most commonly used types of book binding. Tape Binding: Tape binding is a method that uses a thermoplastic strip of glue to bind the pages together. The glue strip is wrapped around one edge of the book block, extending to about a half-inch to an inch on the back and front sheets, and it is then heated with the use of a tape binding machine. The material becomes bound once the glue has cooled.
Coil Binding :When producing, a coil bound book the inside pages are sandwiched between two sheets of card. Holes are punched into the spine edge of the book, before a plastic coil is threaded and twisted through the holes to form the binding. In Short: A plastic coil is wound through both covers and every page to bind the book together.
Why Choose Staple Bound? Books can be opened 360 degrees and be placed flat on a surface. Coils are incredibly durable, making them perfect for books that will be used frequently. Works brilliantly for books of all sizes. Perfect For: Staff handbooks and training manuals. Recipe and cookery books. Staff and student diaries.
Hard Cover Binding :Hardcover bookbinding uses a bind that consists of a hard exterior cover. These hard covers are typically covered with leather, textured paper, cloth, or a similar material. The hard cover can be attached to the text-block through the use of adhesive strips or sewing. A variation of hard binding, known as quarter binding, involves a spine made of different material from the front or back panels of the book.
