Perfect binding uses PUR or EVA glue to keep your pages and the cover bonded together. The primary difference between the two is that PUR glue is an adhesive that reacts with the fibers of the pages it’s binding during the curing process. In most cases, either EVA or PUR glue would be an excellent choice for your perfect binding needs.
There are several advantages to lay-flat binding over traditional perfect binding. The first of these is that the book will lay completely flat across a centerfold. This is primarily important when images or graphics are being displayed. The image is uninterrupted with the exception of a subtle line down the middle. The second benefit is that the thickness of the pages are doubled, so the product feels as though it is of a higher quality with sturdier paper. Finally, there is an ease of use with lay-flat books that one may not get with perfect binding because lay-flat books won’t try to fold closed like perfectly bound books might.
