perfect binding technique
Welcome to printy! We bind your printed materials as you desire. Perfectly bound books or brochures are then ready for pickup or shipping on time at printy in Luisenstr. 49 upon completion. Processing of unsuitable, foreign binding materials, such as coated paper or paper with counter-running fiber direction, only with reservation. Unfortunately, it is not possible to include folded plans in our softcover perfect binding. For this, metal spiral bindings are suitable.
paper & binding
Papers and cardboard are natural products. Due to the original material wood, paper has a fiber direction. This should be taken into account, especially with regard to the subsequent processing of folding and adhesive binding. We pay attention to this in order to achieve clean and durable results. For example: In the standard DIN A4 format, the paper fibers generally run parallel to the long edge (= SB narrow edge/long grain). Optimally, adhesive binding should be done on this long edge, corresponding to the fiber direction. This is crucial for the quality and optimal opening behavior of adhesive binding or a fold.
