Adhesive Binding
This is a temporary binding which may be adapted to a variety of styles. According to the writer of the original information sheet on which this material is partly based, the strength of the product is assisted by the choice of paper and adhesive, penetration of the adhesive, angled saw-cuts, band-driving and the thickness of the glueline. The technique is unsuitable for coated papers.
