Perfect BindingPerfectBack®

The Perfectback® binding strips add perfect binding to your Fastback® binder's capabilities. You can use a wide variety of cover stocks to create the document look you want. Covers can be offset, ink-jet or laser printed. There are three types of Perfectback® binding strips: Lay Flat, Pressure Sensitive and Temperature Activated.

Lay Flat: The LF strip is best choice when the book must lay open when it is placed on a table. This patented binding strip is designed to allow the book block to hinge freely from the spine. You get a book that opens easily without creasing or damaging the title surface of your spine. It is an ideal choice for technical manuals, where you may need to leave the book open to a certain page while you are reading instructions. With the LF strip, the wraparound cover is not thermally bound to the book block, so you can use heat-sensitive cover materials without worry.

Pressure Sensitive: PS strips have a pressure sensitive adhesive to seal the book block to the cover. As with the LF strips, you may use heat-sensitive printing methods and cover materials for your wraparound covers. The entire spine is permanently bound to the book block. The PS strip is a good choice when you are using covers that cannot be subjected to heat.

Temperature Activated: The TA strip binds your wraparound cover to your book block with a thermal adhesive. As with the binding of your book block, the final cover binding is done on a Fastback® binder. Your cover is bound permanently to the spine of your book block. Heat-sensitive inks or digital copies are not recommended for this product. Because it is bound using the Fastback® 15xs binder, the TA strip is the quickest way to create a durably bound book.
