More advanced machinery and materials such as inks and varnishes began to be used to bind different types of publications. Today, the most common <strong>binding methods<\/strong> are as follows:  <\/p>\n<h3>Perfect binding (soft cover binding)<\/h3>\n<p>Commonly known as soft cover binding, this method involves milling or notching the spine and attaching the cover using adhesive to create a durable finish. <\/p>\n<p>This <strong>type of binding <\/strong>can be produced using two processes:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Milled perfect binding (notch binding without sewing): The pages are glued together and then attached to the cover at the spine using adhesive. <\/li>\n<li>Sewn binding: The pages are sewn together, providing greater durability. The block is then glued to the cover.  <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This binding method is typically used for books (e.g. paperback novels), magazines, catalogues and brochures.<\/p>\n<h3>Case binding (hard cover binding)<\/h3>\n<p>Case binding is similar to perfect binding, but the cover is made from rigid board. This provides a more durable finish with greater resistance and a more premium appearance than soft cover <strong>binding.<\/strong>  <\/p>\n<p>This type of binding, which can be either sewn or glued, is characterised by the spine being attached to a rigid board cover. The inner sides (endpapers) are made of paper, and the spine is typically reinforced with mull (internal textile support not visible from the outside).<\/p>\n<p>Hard covers can be finished with a wide range of materials: leather, imitation leather, textured coverings, gloss or matte laminated prints, etc. Foil stamping can be applied to both the cover and spine in gold, silver or other colours, as well as special finishes.  <\/p>\n<p>Today, case binding is commonly used for publications such as novels, cookbooks, biographies, reference books, large-format books (coffee table books) or monographs.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, the<strong> choice of binding <\/strong>will depend on the type of book and your preferences. We recommend consulting our <a href=\"http:\/\/artyplan.com\/nuestros-centros\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">print centres<\/a> to determine which option best suits your project.
