Perfect Binding Machines

Perfect Binding

Perfect binding provides the quality we are used to seeing day-to-day, in novels, catalogues and high-end brochures. Hardback books are also bound using this method – when used in tandem with a Case Making Machine.

Easy-to-use, with low running costs and providing a professional finish, these systems are commonly used in commercial print, corporate offices and training companies.

The perfect binding process involves marrying up the inner pages and book block with the outer cover. A perfect binder mills or grooves the spine to prepare for the application of hot glue, which is then applied to the full length of the document’s spine. The cover is then pressed to the spine using a nipping press, which forces the cover and document together. The cover and book block then become one, and perfect bound books are the end product.

Additional Information

Finding the Perfect Binder for Your Needs

 There are a range of options to suit a number of requirements, depending on your production demands. As an example, the Duplo DB-290 Perfect Binder is ideal for versatile, quick-change binding – while there are also semi automatic machines that use more premium adhesives that are perfect for those in book production or creating marketing brochures. 

The best choice will depend on the adhesive type in use, the level of automation the user is looking to have and the production format required. Binders offering full automation as a feature are best used where staff are unable to operate the machine for long periods of time.
