What is PUR binding?

PUR binding, short for Polyurethane Reactive binding, is a high-quality bookbinding method used in print production, often also called Perfect binding. It involves applying a strong and flexible adhesive to the spine of a book or document.

Unlike traditional hot melt glue, PUR adhesive reacts with moisture in the paper, creating a durable bond that withstands temperature changes and offers excellent lay-flat characteristics. This makes PUR binding ideal for thick or coated papers, and it's well-suited for various types of publications, from softcover books to catalogues. Its exceptional durability and flexibility make it a popular choice for creating long-lasting, professional-looking printed materials.
