Creative Lay Flat Binding

• Hinged Lay-Flat - A rigid PUR block glued to a flexible spine strip for clean, flat opening.

Tech specs at a glance

• Works best with coated or smooth uncoated stocks.
• Spine construction chosen depending on page count and paper weight.
• Ideal for blocks from 16–100 pages (depending on method).

Design tips

• Avoid critical text across the gutter unless using full lay-flat.
• Heavier stocks give ultra-flat opening but increase thickness.
• Consider soft-touch lamination to elevate the cover feel.
