When we need to bind documents, we often think which binding type is the best? What kind of binding machine should I use?

In fact, there are many types of binding types, such as cloth bound, wireless binding, thermal binding, saddle stitching, comb binding, wire binding, etc. Among them, comb binding, wire binding and thermal binding are the most frequently used in office. In fact, each binding method has its advantages and disadvantages, due to the different documents bound, there will be suitable and unsuitable places. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these binding types? What types of documents or books are suitable for binding?

In the past, many books were made into hardcover books by cloth binding type. Basically, it is to sew the pages together according to the sections, then stick the sewn pages on the lining pages, and finally stick the bonded pages on the spine of the back cover. It has the advantages of exquisite style, but the disadvantage is that the production cost is relatively high. It is mostly used for high-end books which are quite elegant, exquisite and with small circulation.

Wireless binding is a common binding method. The binding principle is to clip books, milling cutters, automatic gluing and automatic cover wrapping through the wireless adhesive binding machine. The loose paper is solidified on the spine of the book through hot melt glue. It can bind 500-600 pages. The advantage is that it is fast and affordable, and it is mostly used in paperback books. Thermal binding adhesive is also used, but it is completely different from the machine used in thermal binding.

Thermal binding is to sort out the materials, select the suitable thickness of the hot-melt envelopes, put them together, rely on the constant temperature heating of the machine to make the glue on the hot-melt cover melt and glue on the spine of the book to complete the binding. This kind of binding is also wireless, but it is suitable for binding less than 200 pages, and the effect will be better.

Saddle stitch is convenient, quick, easy to read and economical, but it is only limited to the documents with few pages, which is mostly used for album and atlas.

Comb binding and wire binding are mostly used for binding general materials. Loose leaf binding is convenient for adding and deleting pages. The paper can be turned 180 ° or 360 ° with affordable price, which is very suitable for small batch binding.
