PUR & Layflat Perfect Binding

Our adhesive binding department has grown in recent years to accommodate the ever changing needs of our customers and in turn their customers. Our most notable acquisition has been the Kolbus KM470 which is tailor made to run PUR and layflat. Running side by side with our Muller Martini Monostar binder, where EVA hot melt is the order of the day, both binders have in-line collators with 18 pockets and in-line trimmers for maximum productivity.

“To PUR or not to PUR: that is the question” is a precept that we have posed before and is an ongoing debate in the industry. Our ability to furnish both allows us to provide our customers with the most appropriate application for their individual job. We use the diverse specifics inherent in each job to assist in that determination whether it be paper type or weight, usage or budget. Indeed for the most part there is no one correct way other than for our customers to feel comfortable and confident that their needs are being met in this discipline.  To that end discussing your projects prior to production with our highly qualified staff in adhesive binding we help facilitate success. However, some factors that hold credence on the differences are outlined below.

 

  • Standard Perfect Binding Utilizes standard EVA hot melt glue of the highest quality.

 

  • Cost effective books from 1/8” to 2 1/8” thick.

 

  • PUR (Polyurethane Reactive) Offers extreme durability, temperature stability and flexibility. Ideal for difficult stocks And books subject to heavy usage.

 

  • Layflat utilizes all of the desirable properties of PUR, and can be more user friendly. Detaching the cover from the spine allows for he book to open “flatter” without the book failing or the spine cracking.

Let us perfectly bind our relationship with a great product!
