Why Lay-Flat Binding: Features, Advantages and Benefits

Available Only on the Muller Martini Corona C12

In Western Canada, Available Only at Pacific Bindery Services

The Corona perfect binder is equipped with a mull unit for Lay-Flat binding. The Lay-Flat process: Inside text pages are bound to mull paper using PUR as the adhesive (Important note: PUR is used for the spine glue for all Lay-Flat books produced at Pacific Bindery Services.) The book block is then adhered to inside covers of the book, allowing pages to lay-flat without cracking the spine. Lay-Flat binding is great for long use and for its lay-flat, lay-open properties. It eliminates the potential for cracking or breaking the spine when opening the book to lay-flat. Inside margins can be reduced as the book pages will open to the spine and lay-flat. It is particularly economical on medium to long-runs when used as an alternative to mechanical binding.

Lay-Flat is recommended for high use books, heavily coated, highly calendered, thick paper stock and books using cross grain papers (cookbooks, manuals, reference books, catalogues, swatch books, etc.).
