FAQs

What is perfect binding?

Different from notepad, glue padding and tape, perfect binding is the type of bind that involves using adhesive to bound multiple pages together, creating a professionally printed product. Examples of perfect binding include shopping catalogs and yellow pages. It is not recommended to use perfect binding if the spine is less than 4mm or 5/32 of an inch.

What is a padding press?

Also known as a padding machine, a padding press allows you to seamlessly create paper and notepads of various sizes. Using a padding glue or adhesive, it is applied to one side of the paper and can be cut down to your required measurements.

What is padding glue?

Padding glue is an adhesive used when creating any tear-away style paper product including writing pads or checkbooks. Most padding glues are non-toxic, however, if you are manufacturing something intended to be used, it is important to check prior to application whether or not the adhesive is non-toxic.

What is padding compound used for?

Padding compound is an adhesive used when creating paper and notepads. The adhesive is applied to the edge of the pages and subsequently held together using a padding press. Once dried, the pages are easily removable and reusable for sticky-pad applications.

What is tape binding?

Typically known and used as a DIY option to document binding, tape bidding uses thermoplastic glue-coated strips, sticking to the spine and cover to create a long-lasting and effective bind. Whilst being a DIY solution to document binding, they remain durable throughout their life cycle, providing it is not damaged by outside influences.
