Glue for thermal binders
My Print hot-melt glue for perfect binders — for seamless glued binding of books, brochures and catalogues. The line has four glues in two types: EVA for the spine (sets into a hard strong seam) — BB Universal, BB Pro Spine, BB Manual; and pressure-sensitive (PSA) for the side — BB Side (stays tacky, holds the cover under pressure).
Below — which glue for which zone and how to apply it.

Glue types in detail
EVA (hot-melt)
On cooling it sets into a hard seam and loses tack («zero tack») — a strong structural bond of the spine.
Pressure-sensitive (PSA)
After cooling it stays tacky and bonds under pressure — the side gluing of the cover to the block.
Two-zone binding
EVA on the spine + PSA on the side: the cover holds both at the spine and along the side edge — stronger and more premium.
Working temperature
Let the binder warm up (15–20 min), keep the zone at 150–180 °C. The low-melt BB Manual suits desktop and manual machines.

FAQ about "Glue for thermal binders":
- Spine (main seam) — EVA glue: BB Universal, BB Pro Spine, BB Manual.
- Side (side gluing of the cover) — PSA: BB Side.
EVA sets hard on cooling and is non-tacky — a strong spine bond. PSA stays tacky and bonds under pressure — side gluing.
The working zone is 150–180 °C, warm-up 15–20 min. The low-melt BB Manual (150–170 °C) is for manual and desktop binders.
Choose BB Manual — it is low-melt, so it suits desktop and manual machines with less heating.
- EVA spine glues (BB Universal, BB Pro Spine, BB Manual) — granules, 25 kg pack.
- PSA contact glue for the side (BB Side) — briquette “pads” ~3×8 cm, ~500 g each, not granules.
