Bindery
Bindery refers to a studio, workshop or factory where sheets of (usually) paper are fastened together to make books, but also where gold and other decorative elements are added to the exterior of books, where boxes or slipcases for books are made and where the restoration of books is carried out. Overview A large traditional hand bookbinding studio or workshop may be divided into areas for different tasks such as sewing, rounding and backing the spine, attaching the boards to the book and covering the book with cloth or leather. These processes are collectively called forwarding and would be carried out in the forwarding department. This area of the bindery would typically have equipment such as sewing frames, guillotines, board choppers for cutting boards used as covers, laying presses for holding books when being worked on and nipping presses for flattening paper, board, etc. Recently, some compact material have been developed, allowing the processing of almost all the operati ...

Velo Binding
Bookbinding is the process of building a book, usually in codex format, from an ordered stack of paper sheets with one's hands and tools, or in modern publishing, by a series of automated processes. Firstly, one binds the sheets of papers along an edge with a thick needle and strong thread. One can also use loose-leaf rings, binding posts, twin-loop spine coils, plastic spiral coils, and plastic spine combs, but they last for a shorter time. Next, one encloses the bound stack of paper in a cover. Finally, one places an attractive cover onto the boards, and features the publisher's information and artistic decorations. The trade of bookbinding includes the binding of blank books and printed books. Blank books, or stationery bindings, are books planned to be written in. These include accounting ledgers, guestbooks, logbooks, notebooks, manifold books, day books, diaries, and sketchbooks. Printed books are produced through letterpress printing, offset lithography, or other printin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Paper Drilling
Paper drilling is a technique used in binderies for providing large quantities of paper with round holes. The paper can be processed as loose leaves and in brochures (stitched, perfectly bound). The holes can be drilled for storage purposes, such as filing, or sometimes for decorative purposes. Terminology Paper drilling describes a technology for providing paper with round holes. For this purpose, paper-drilling machines are used. Paper-drilling machines are the generic term for manual, motorized, and fully automated paper drills. The paper-drilling system is an automated paper-drilling machine that usually integrates several production steps into one continuous workflow. The phrase paper drill is used as well for paper-drilling machines as for the tools used for paper drilling. Technology Paper drilling is a method to drill round holes into paper and other materials. For this purpose, hollow paper drill bits are clamped into a driven spindle that drills into the pile of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Foamcore
Foamcore, foam board, or paper-faced foam board is a lightweight and easily cut material used for wikt:mount, mounting of photographic prints, as backing for picture frame, picture framing, for making scale models, and in painting. It consists of a board of polystyrene foam clad with an outer facing of paper on either side, typically white clay-coated paper or brown kraft paper. History The original white foamcore board was made in thicknesses for the graphic arts industry by Monsanto Company under the trade name "Fome-Cor®" starting in 1961. Construction, variants and composition The surface of the regular board, like many other types of paper, is slightly acidic. However, for modern archival picture frame, picture framing and art mounting purposes it can be produced in a pH, neutral, acid-free version with a buffer solution, buffered surface paper, in a wide range of sizes and thicknesses. Foam-cored materials are also now available with a wikt:cladding, cladding of solid ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Comb Binding
Comb binding (sometimes referred to as "cerlox" or "surelox" binding) is one of many ways to bookbinding, bind pages together into a book. This method uses round plastic spines with 19 rings (for US Letter size) or 21 rings (for A4 size) and a hole puncher that makes rectangular holes. Comb binding is sometimes referred to as plastic comb binding or spiral comb binding. Binding process To bind a document, the user first punches holes in the paper with a specialized hole punch. Pages must be punched a few at a time with most of these machines. If hard covers are desired, they must be punched as well. In bulk applications, a paper drilling machine may be used. Then the user chooses a spine size that will match the document. Standard sizes are (for 16 sheets of 20# paper) up to (for 425 sheets). Spine lengths are generally to match the length of letter-size paper. The rings on the spine open and insert into the holes in the page, then rest against the body of the spine, resul ...
