Accordion Bind
Of the many cases bound jobs we produce in our company, this job is very unusual. It’s a several panel accordion folders, which is unusual. We can produce more accordion fold that any trade shop in the industry. What is distinctive is the the front and back covers are case wrapped on 100pt board. The wrap is with printed paper. We produce these two front and back covers automatically on one of our two case makers. The board covers are not lined in the insides, but rather lined with the top and bottom panel of the accordion folders. The book looks like a normal case bound book lying on a desk, but when you open it, you can see as this picture illustrates its distinctive, functionable, memorable and surprisingly cost effective.
Another case covered accordion folder as you can see here, there’s numerous accordion folds, which we can produce automatically in one of our 25 folding machines. The front and back cover are 100pt board with wrapped printed material. We did not line. The inside of the covers we full surfaced glued them on the outside front cover on and the outside back panel. To produce as you see the second picture is simply the book lying flat with the pages turning. So if you want something unusual distinctive, please give us a call.
Accordion Bound Books
What is an accordion bound book?
It’s a unique binding method that has each page of the book as one continuous sheet. The front of the first panel is glued to the front cover and the back of the last panel is glued to the back cover. What you have is an accordion folded book!
The image above shows a job we produced, which had 5 different cover colours, each colour in equal quantity. As you can see, the colours are amazing as well as the dimensions of each book – tall and narrow. The most interesting part of these books, though, is the style of binding!
We recommend that for the folded pages, you use a stock weight between 80lb text to 10pt cover. The number of pages can range from three panels to dozens of panels. To accomplish books with a large number of folds, we can glue folded sections together. The use for this type of binding is great for event invitations to art books.
As for the covers, they can be anything from board case wrapped with paper, cloth or man-made material like faux leather. Both covers have to be the same size, but as far as the overall size of the book, basically the only limit is your imagination. We can do portrait or landscape and little to large sizes!
