Wireless binding

  Wireless binding, also known as perfect binding, is a bookbinding technique that uses adhesive to bond the pages together, replacing the traditional sewn‑in thread binding method. This process typically involves the following steps:
  Collation: Preparing the book pages for binding.
  Book spine milling: Depending on the paper thickness and the number of folded layers, a specific thickness is milled from the book spine to facilitate gluing.
  Flocking: The book spine is flocked to facilitate better penetration and adhesion of the adhesive.
  Gluing: Apply adhesive to the book spine and edges, typically using hot-melt glue.
  Paste the cover: Attach the cover to the book.
  Trimming: The final trimming of the book is performed to complete binding.
  The entire wireless binding process is far more efficient than the traditional sewn‑in‑thread binding method, typically requiring only about one unit of time. This binding technique not only boosts book‑binding productivity but has also gained widespread adoption in the publishing industry thanks to its speed and convenience.
  During the perfect binding process, back milling and surface roughening are critical steps; their depths must be carefully controlled to ensure adequate adhesive penetration and prevent issues such as page detachment or loose pages. Furthermore, adhesive is applied to both the spine and the edges of the book, with different types of hot-melt adhesives and performance characteristics depending on the application. Maintaining the correct hot-melt temperature is essential for achieving high-quality bonding and binding.
  Overall, wireless binding is an efficient, modern bookbinding technique that replaces traditional sewn‑in thread binding with adhesive, thereby boosting production efficiency and enhancing the durability and sturdiness of books.
