TYPES OF BINDING – AST UAE
AST provides a range of excellent book binding choices for your project. As a rule, all of our books are produced and bound with utmost care and attention.
PERFECT BINDING
A method of printing and bookbinding called perfect binding involves grouping of pages together to produce an orderly, precise and polished print outcome. It involves printing one or more sheets made of groups of pages, which are then organized so that the signatures are formed when the sheets are folded. These signatures are stacked together and the corners that create the spine will be filed down to encourage adherence. After that, adhesive is applied to the spine before it is embedded under a cover. When the adhesive hardens, three of its sides are cut to create the final publication. Perfect binding attracts several benefits and it’s quite cost-effective. In addition to being less expensive than hardback binding, precise bound volumes can also be used for modest print runs, enabling customers to create high-quality print goods on a budget.
SIDE SEWING
One technique for binding magazines and booklets is side-stitch binding, which entails pushing a wire from front to back, beside the signature, next to the spine.
CASE BINDING
Case binding is the common binding type used to create hardcover volumes. A material (leather, cloth, vinyl, or paper) is applied to binding boards, which are then fastened to page signatures using end leaves (folded sheets are first attached to the book block, and subsequently to the cover).
RIVET BINDING
You can use metal or plastic rivets for rivet binding
BOOKLET MAKING
A booklet is a tiny book that is often smaller than a “real” book, with fewer pages and a paper cover.
BINDING COMB
A cylindrical plastic form with many curved lines along the length of it is used in comb binding, sometimes referred to as Cerlox or Surelox binding.
WIRE BINDING
Using this binding method, users insert their punched pages into a “C” shaped spine and then squeeze the spine until it is round using a wire closer.
TAPE BINDING
Tape binding is a kind of document binding that creates a strong, long-lasting bind by putting strips covered in thermoplastic glue to the book’s covers and spine. Super strips, thermal glue strips, and glue binding spines come in a variety of hues and finishes, including as light grey, red, maroon, purple, white, yellow, dazzling blue, dark blue, dark brown, dark green, dark grey, green, and lapis.
STRIP BINDING
Vilobind is another name for strip binding. A simple binding technique is strip binding. First, punch a few tiny holes all the way around the edge of the unbound book.
