V2 – glued binding

Loose sheets are bonded to the spine with glue, hung in the cover and then trimmed on three sides. These types of bindings differ depending on the type of glue that is used. Hot Melt glues are commonly used, with PUR glues used in certain applications where higher durability is required (typically when there are more coated paper pages). The drawback of PUR glue in terms of the speed of finishing is the 24-48 hour drying period it requires. A cover with flaps on one or both sides can be used with this type of binding.
