Perfect binding is the domination binding process in industrial book and brochure production today.

Perfect binding systems have the following characteristic elements: Endpaper feeder stations, Jogging station, Transport system, Spine processing station, Gluing unit, Lining station, Cover scoring and feed station, Cover aligning and pressing station, Dryer, Delivery.

Thread-sealing – a process that is more economic than thread-stitching and also more reliable and more user friendly than perfect binding.

This process has two stages: the binding process of folded sheets to one another with textile threads during folding; the binding process of folded sheets to the block through block linings after gathering.

The dominating process is that of the wire-stitching of single-layer brochures, for which two or more staples are inserted into the back fold.
