Text and image quick printing adhesive book loose page processing: a real case of a quick printing store

Xiao Wu’s fast printing shop received a graduation commemorative book, 300 copies, and found that nearly 10% of the pages were scattered before submitting. The customer was pressing hard, so he dealt with it overnight. This is his summary of the scattered pages of first aid and root cause improvement stories.

First aid: delivered on the same day

Xiao Wu took apart the scattered pages of the book, milled the back again, and added initial adhesive to press it together. He finished all the repairs before the delivery, thus maintaining the reputation of this order.

Root cause: adhesive type and process

• The original ordinary adhesive particles had insufficient initial adhesion, and the thick copper plate pages had high tensile strength and were prone to scattering.
• The milling back is shallow, and the fibers are not fully exposed.
• Insufficient time for batch rush work and pressing.

Improvement: Rubber replacement+standardization

He switched to using “Sunlife hot melt adhesive” for high initial adhesion of books and magazines, and Guangzhou Sunlife Trading sent people to guide the adjustment of machine parameters, reducing the loose page rate to almost zero.

Experience Checklist

• Priority is given to high initial adhesive for thick page books.
• The milling depth is adjusted according to the paper.
• Leave enough time for compression, don’t rush the schedule.
• Confirm the bulk order by sampling first.

Revelation

Scattered pages are not occasional, but a warning of glue and craftsmanship. Only by selecting the right Sunlife hot melt adhesive and following standardized procedures can the fast printing store ensure stable delivery.
