Libraries
face the daunting task of juggling their budgets to purchase new
books and maintaining their book inventory in good order. The
quality workmanship of 'old world' bookbinding is becoming a
thing of the past. In today's large run book production, the
durability qualities of the adhesive are not always the most
important issue. As a result, inexpensive adhesives degrade and
fragment. Many publishers supply books that have a limited life
cycle.
The
biggest problem that occurs is book covers falling off. In many
cases, the same cover can be rebound to the book, in other
cases, it makes sense to create a new cover and then rebind.

machines are ideally suited for library repair. It is a simple
procedure to mend books. When rebinding the spine to the cover,
Fastbind adhesive re-melts the "old glue" and adds fresh high
quality Fastbind hot-melt adhesive to it. We can even show you
how to easily make replacement covers for both soft and hard
cover books. Your books that were headed for the scrap pile can
now be usable for many years to come!
Another
application for libraries is the constant need to bind twelve
periodic issues into a single durable book. Thanks to Fastbind,
this task can also be done by the library's own personnel.
Fastbind
bound books lay flat for easy photo copying if needed.
By saving
your book inventory and extending it's life-cycle, you can spend
your budget on other things, perhaps on hiring new staff or
buying new books?
