What are the different types of binding covers?
are the days of printing on scrolls made from the pulp of the Papyrus plant, the parchment made of animal leather and palm leaves serving as a binding material for ancient religious texts. Modern times have brought modern materials, resulting in countless book options. The possibilities range from cheap DO-IT-YOURSELF systems for business or school projects to professional fixed opportunities for the author of public sales book.

1. Personal: Suitable for unpublished works under 100 pages such as domestic projects, students' reports and business documents. Belongs to:
- Smooth plastic covers: This durable material is waterproof and resistant to tears. It comes in different colors, including Clear, and can be purchased as a printable or continuous cover.
- grain covers: theses are sometimes referred to as leather, embossed grain and leather relief. They are made of unloaded paperstock, which is resistant and resistant to markets, but not waterproof. They are also printable to a smooth plastic cover, but offer a texture that changes the appearance.
- Bed linen covered: covered with bed linen offer the most elegant appearance, with attributes identical to the grain binding covers, but with a different texture that resembles high -quality sheet metal paper with high weight.
All of the above packaging are available in different weights, quality and sizes. The binding options include plastic combs, wire coil and non -crippling large -scale spine, which resembles the teeth of the comb and allows neat stacking, but does not allow the book to lie open and flat. Cheap machines can be purchased for each other or can be prepared by almost any copy or press store.

It is easy and cheap, but it is more difficult to add pages later, while plastic combs, wire coil and Velbind Combs can easily be removed and replaced with a larger version that receives multiple pages.
2. Professional: suitable for published works to be purchased on the public market.
