2026-08-24    Views: 4    Chinese

Binding of Cultural and Creative HandbooksHot melt adhesive granulesSpecial requirements

Handbooks usually use thin paper (60-80g/m ²) and a hard shell cover structure. The inner pages need to be laid flat at 180 ° without falling off, and the requirements for the flexibility and bonding strength of the adhesive layer are both high. Unlike ordinary books and magazines, hand books have a very high frequency of flipping and are often repeatedly folded. If the glue layer is too hard, the spine of the book is easily broken; If it is too soft, the inner page will fall off.

Selection Suggestions

Recommended EVA fast curing type for machine glue assembly line – fast gluing speed and compact rhythm; Manual or semi-automatic binding is recommended by APAO – it has a long opening time and high fault tolerance, especially suitable for small batch cultural and creative studios. Both types of Sunlife hot melt adhesive substrates have corresponding models, and Guangzhou Sunlife Trading can recommend free selection solutions based on your binding method.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Q: What should I do if the inner pages of the ledger become transparent?
    A: The adhesive amount should be controlled at 35-45g/m ², and the adhesive layer thickness should be around 0.2mm. If it is too thick, it is easy for the adhesive to penetrate.
  • Q: How to improve the problem of EVA rubber particles breaking easily when making hand books in winter?
    A: Choose low-temperature EVA (softening point 70-80 ° C), or install heating in the workshop to maintain a temperature of 15 ° C or above.
