Spinegluing

Spinegluing is an alternative to saddle-stitching small booklets, specifically 8pp or 12pp selfcover booklets, normally DL, A5 or A4 in finished size. Spineglued booklets are simpler to crashfold, and without stitches stack and pack more easily.  Folded spineglued booklets allow an easier fit into an envelope for mail-outs. 

We use a PVA cold adhesive for spineglueing.
