PUR Binding (Polyurethane Reactive)
PUR is stronger than EVA (Ethylene Vinyl Acetate) so there is no need to use knock out varnish or aqueous coatings. And page pulls are twice as strong as EVA which means even your digitally printed books on coated stock stay together. Our production platform features multiple machines to accommodate short run digital as well as runs into the millions.
Padding
We can produce millions of pads a week at SFG. From drilled, cold glued, or cheesecloth pads to hot melt glued, fold-out body pads, we do it all! We have automated solutions to give you hundreds of thousands of pads a day. We can also apply Mechanical Binding, including Double Wire, Spiral Plastic and Spiral Wire.
