FINISHING

BINDING

There are many methods of binding available. The most typically used at Emerald Press are:

Saddle-Stich – A form of binding recommended for books and booklets from 8 to 64 pages. The book or booklet is stapled through the middle fold of its sheets using staples.

Perfect Binding – Single sheets of paper are stacked together with an adhesive applied to the binding edge and then a cover wrapped around the pages.

Wire Binding – This type of binding is a unique system of permanent binding, which has no sharp edges, can lie flat and stays flat when opened.
