>view all endleaf options Universal™ Endsheet featured in LBI / HBI Newsletter Werner Rebsamen, renowned book expert and industry consultant, recently saw the LBS Universal™ endsheet in action during a visit to Houchen Bindery. Houchen Bindery loads the Universal endsheet directly in the cover feeder of their new Standard Horizon BQ-470 PUR adhesive binder. The binder takes over from there – automatically attaching the paste-down sheets and the spine liner as the book is bound. In the article Werner discusses book structure, the advantages of the Universal endsheet and tips for achieving the best results with your perfect binder. Product Feature: Super Reinforcing Cloth LBS has an exclusive relationship with an American manufacturer of Super. We carry three varieties of Super; LBS Ribbed Super for NASTA specified textbooks, LBSuper 2420 for those requiring a sturdy, yet economical weave and LBSuper 2012, when an open weave is critical for the adhesive to penetrate the cloth windows and/or price is the driving factor (as this is the least expensive Super in our line). Contact your Sales Representative or Account Manager to learn more about our line of Super and all of our reinforcing materials. LBS now offers American-made Luminaire!

Innovations in Hardcover BindingOver the past five years, the model used to produce books has changed. There are now shorter runs and bindings on-demand. New machinery has been developed for the shorter-run market and existing equipment has been modified to respond to lower quantities. Some binderies were applying a blank piece of paper in the cover feeder of a perfect binder to guard the adhesive and then were stripping off the paper on both sides of the book. The book block then moved on to the next steps for converting to a hardbound book. We saw the opportunity for a new approach and as a result, developed a new endsheet that can run successfully in the cover feeder of most perfect binders. The adhesive can be PVA, hot melt, or PUR. >read more... |
