Top quality adhesive binding involves more than just gluing a cover to a book block. Advance pre-planning, glue selection, manufacturing excellence and rigorous testing are the critical success factors. Printers need a bindery services partner they can count on to ensure the finished product measures up to the strictest quality standards.

Choose Your Glue Wisely

The wrong glue choice can seriously compromise the binding strength and functionality of a book. Most printers need a bindery that offers many glue options to cover a wide array of binding needs. 

Page Pull Testing

How can you be certain that your adhesive bound books are up to the task? In a word: TESTING. High quality binderies pull books throughout a production run and perform page pull strength tests.
