Perfect Binding and unbound edition
We installed the latest perfect binding line from Kolbus, Germany in 2013, and use this latest equipment for our perfect binding jobs. With the capacity to output 60,000 perfect bound copies per day, we have been producing high quality book materials for many partner organizations. The types of perfect binding and undound edition services we offer are as below: |
| - Hot Melt Perfect Binding |
When printed sheets are folded, and gathered into a block, its spine is ground and fastened together with hot melt adhesive. This is the method generally used for perfect binding, and is also referred to as the soft cover perfect binding as its covering material tends to be thinner. Books bound in this method will stay open more easily than the copies bound in unbound edition or luxury styles after stitching together its sections. |
