Perfect Binding<\/strong><\/p>\n

The spine or the book is cut and roughened, adhesive is applied to the rough edges and a cover is glued firmly in place. Bleeds and crossovers are also handled differently on perfect bound books.<\/p>\n

THE PROCESS<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Folded signatures or single leaves are gathered into a stack.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The spine side of the stack is milled to remove the folded edges, and roughened toexpose the paper fibers. The edge of each page is left exposed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hot melt adhesive is applied along the spine edge of the book. The glue does notpenetrate; it flows around the exposed fibers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The cover is applied to the spine while the glue is hot. It is then pressed onto thespine, and wrapped around the book block.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n
\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Hot melt dries in 2 to 25 seconds.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
