Perfect Binding
Perfect binding is a widely used and popular binding method in the printing industry. It involves binding a stack of sheets together with a flexible adhesive spine and then trimming them to create a flat edge.
palamides understands the common challenges of perfect binding and works to address them:
- Outsourcing perfect binding can be slow and complicated, requiring attention to design, print and material considerations
- The choice of paper and ink can have an impact on the perfect binding process
- Content can be lost in the gutter of the bound book
- Smaller print runs of perfect bound jobs require specific processing workflows tailored to individual needs
- End customers prefer one-stop shopping for their printing needs
- Pages tend to reopen, causing inconvenience
- The minimum spine strength is dependent on the page count and paper weight.
