PUR Binding

Enhance book durability with professional PUR binding services

Have you finished your masterpiece or want to prepare some publications for frequent handling? There are many binding options, but very few can match the durability benefits associated with PUR book binding. It’s your best bet if your book is going to be frequently shared, opened, or read.

At Print It ZA, we are experts in creating books that grab attention and stay intact. Let us bind your piece and make it 100% ready for whatever lies ahead.

What is PUR binding and how does it work?

PUR binding is one of the ways to build a book using a super-strong Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) glue to keep the pages together. When preparing them for this binding method, the pages are printed and stacked in the correct order. The edge of the spine is slightly roughened, just like perfect binding, to help the PUR formulation stick better. It is then applied to the spine. A soft cover is added before the pages are pressed.

The final step of the process occurs once Polyurethane Reactive has dried for 100%. We trim the edges of your book and get a fantastic result with no rough spots and a strong firm page cohesion.

Get your publication PUR-bound

You can opt for the PUR method for the most common types of publication, like:

• Art and photography books
• Extensive catalogs for applications in professional environments
• Cookbooks
• Manuals
• Children’s books

Getting PUR-bound books is an investment into lasting quality because:

• The PUR adhesive makes it stronger and more reliable than perfect binding.
• Your piece can open more easily.
• The durability properties of the PUR formulation pair well with high-quality papers of all types.

Please note that completing a binding cycle using this method calls for extra time to ensure adhesive dryness. The team of Print It ZA will keep you posted on the required time when preparing your quote.

Leave no room for book cracks

Remember, it’s not just a publication but a treasure that may exist for many decades. This is why PUR binding may be better for your project to minimize the risks of the signs of wear and tear on your written creation.
