What are the common binding methods for books?

Books that are saddle-stitched should not be too thick, and multiple books must be set into one complete book before they can be bound (see Figure 7-7A).

Wire stitching uses a wire stapler to pass the wire through the book block's stapling opening. This is called wire stitching. Wire stitching has high production efficiency. However, the iron wire is prone to yellow rust spots when it gets wet, which affects the appearance of books and periodicals and causes damage to album pages.

Thread-stitching involves connecting the prepared signatures one by one with threads in sequence, which is called thread-stitching.

There are two ways to lock the thread: flat lock.

Thread binding can be used to bind books of any thickness. It is strong and easy to read, but the binding speed is slow.

The adhesive-bound book blocks can be used for paperback or hardcover.
