Are
you or your customer having trouble choosing between the economy
of perfect-binding and the user friendliness of mechanical-binding?
Many projects destined for the hands of a diverse group of end
users could benefit from either binding style. Rather than compromising
your project by going with one or the other, consider a split
run that utilizes both styles. And, with a little advance planning,
design and production of split run projects can be a breeze.
Perfect
Binding Advantages
Next
to saddle stitching, perfect binding is typically the least expensive
binding styles. That makes it profitable for printers on both
long and short runs. For split run applications, perfect binding
is suitable for users that require spine printing, or who will
not be using their books extensively.
Mechanical
Binding Advantages
Mechanical
binding styles such as Wire-O allows users to more easily access
and reference the material. Mechanically-bound books lay flat
on a desk or countertop, and most styles also allow books to fold
over completely for use as a display. Incorporating a mix of stocks,
index tabs and foldouts make mechanical-binding pieces even more
versatile and useful.

Consider
This:
Synthetic
stocks are popular for books that will receive heavy usage, as
they offer resistance to moisture, staining and tearing. While
mechanical binding styles can handle synthetic stocks with ease,
traditional hot melt glues will not provide a strong bond. For
split run projects printed with synthetic stocks, or even traditional
stocks with heavy ink and coating coverage, specify PUR adhesive
binding. Available at Finish Line Binderies, PUR adhesive creates
a super-strong bond with almost any stock, allowing you to use
a single stock for both adhesive-bound and mechanically-bound
versions of your project.
