a type of book binding that uses heat to adhere glue to the spine of a book, creating a secure bind
Thermal binding is a method where heat-sensitive adhesive is used to bind the pages of a book or document. The process involves placing the pages into a pre-glued cover and then applying heat, usually using a thermal binding machine. The heat melts the adhesive, which then cools and solidifies, securing the pages to the cover. This method is popular for creating professional-looking reports, presentations, and books. It is appreciated for its clean, smooth finish and the ability to bind a large number of pages quickly and efficiently.
