What You Need To Know About Book Binding
Bookbinding is an important process that organises sheets of papers into a bound book. It is mostly used by students or professionals to present their thesis, research or work papers properly.
Listed below are four categories of book binding services in Singapore.
Sewn or stitched binding
The papers are sewn or stitched in the spine of the book. Magazines and comic books use saddlestitching which joins a set of papers into a single comic book.
Hardcover binding
Hardcover binding is the same as sewn binding except that the covers that are used for the book are more rigid, and are usually made of thick cardboard.
The signatures of the book initially start as loose pages and are then clamped together. The signatures are sewn together using lock stitches.
Shops that have online office supplies in Singapore usually offer these kind of services.
Thermally Activated Binding
The paper is placed in the cover and is heated. As soon as the glue cools, it adheres the paper to the spine of the book.
Tape binding uses a tape-binding machine to activate the glue strip’s thermal adhesive. The process involves wrapping and gluing a piece of tape around the base of the document.
Punch and Bind
Punch and bind includes spiral binding, comb binding, VeloBind and double wire binding.
These are just some of the book binding services found in Singapore. They are usually available in stores that offer online office supplies in Singapore.
