Binding - Perfect

The Sterling Doublebinder employs a fan-gluing system that produces a book with a super-strong bind that lays perfectly flat by gluing between each sheet as well as spine.

Heidelberg has developed a camera recognition system for its EB4000 model perfect binder to monitor the quality of the application of glue film on the spine of the book. The unit circulates PUR through the width of the nozzle to ensure a consistent heat temperature at the point of application.

PUR puts the lock on a wide range of print products.
