Plural
glued fold bindings
1
a method of bookbinding in which the folded sheets of a book are secured together at the spine with glue rather than thread
Glued fold binding is a method where the pages of a book or booklet are held together with a strong adhesive applied to the spine. In this process, sheets of paper are gathered into sections, which are then glued along the spine edge. The cover is typically wrapped around the glued spine, and the whole book is then trimmed to create a clean edge. This binding method is commonly used for softcover books, magazines, and reports, providing a smooth, flat spine and allowing for professional-looking publications.
