What is Thermal Binding?

The name is the basics as to what thermal binding is. The use of a hot adhesive on a binding cover creates a book in minutes. Depending on the number of pages will determine the thickness of your binding cover.

How does Thermal Binding work?

Choose the spine with the correct width and place the number of pages within the spine and insert into the machine. Minutes later you have a bounded book.

What are the Advantages of thermal binding?

Thermal binding has many advantages over other forms of binding such as:

• Professional Look - Hole punch machines can be awkward to line up and look untidy and unprofessional when out of line. Thermal binding is easier to line up and creates a cleaner look.

• Bind hard covers - Other forms of binding machines find it difficult to bind hard covers, whereas thermal binding does this with ease.

• Quicker - Thermal binding takes a minute to create a book/ booklet! comb or punch binding is much more time consuming. Plus thermal binding can create multiple books at once.

• Paper doesn't need to be punched - Punching holes in paper makes the paper weaker and more prone to rips and tears. 

• More than one book can be bound at a time.
