Binding Process BD9

Bad Binding

Simple, practical and designed to tear away cleanly

Pad binding gathers individual sheets and secures them along one edge using a flexible binding adhesive. The sheets remain securely held as a pad while allowing individual pages to be removed cleanly when required.

It is a practical binding method for notepads, memo pads, forms and other printed pieces designed for repeated everyday use.
