Traditional Perfect Binding and PUR Binding both create professional looking softcover books, but their performance levels differ significantly.

When printing a perfect bound book, getting the best value involves making informed decisions about the paper, ink, size, and other specifications of the book.

Compared to EVA glue, PUR is the better binding choice. It offers greater bonding strength and superior flexibility. It is also compatible with more substrates.

The perfect binding process transforms individual pages and a wraparound cover into a high quality book with a flat printable spine and arrow straight edges.

PUR Binding is a popular bookbinding method that uses a high-performance bonding agent known as Polyurethane Reactive adhesive (abbreviated as PUR).

PUR provides a stronger and more flexible binding solution than EVA, making it ideal for books that require a professional appearance and long-term durability.
