Perfect Binding Professional Paperback Books Quickly & Easily

- Jim Kelly gives a thorough introduction to professional perfect binding using the Fastback® Model 20 tape binding machine by Powis Parker. Perfect bound books have full bleed wraparound covers that adhere directly to the inner pages of your book, making a paperback document in any size up to 12 inches in length.
The heat of the Fastback® bind cycle previously made perfect binding toner-based covers very difficult, as the toner would melt off the sheet. With our innovative spine protector sleeve, however, we've figured out a method to create a very strong perfect bind without compromising the way the cover looks.

شكرا جزيلا
will it work for 400 sheets (800pages) dictionary book for commercial purpose? Once done, will this kind of big book with daily usage start disintegrating at some point?
man I would love one of those blank books to use as a SketchBook I wonder if they sell them
You can! Search for "Flexi-Sletch" on Amazon.com. Available in various sizes.
What is the cover made of?
Can you bind 5.5 x 8 books? ( size of a folded page ). Perhaps by cutting the tape in half? It should be easy to modify the equipment to add that functionality, or add a simple step.
What kind of paper are you using for the book cover
I'm your opinion would you be able to estimate total cost of machines required to complete everything you have shown
Hi there, how does the glue get past the outside sheet that you tear off? What would happen if you didn't include the outside removable sheet? Otherwise excellent video, thank you heaps for sharing, have been searching for something like this for a couple of weeks now. Also what is the name of the 'scoring' machine? Also does the binder machine sell/provide the glue strip/binding strip 'with' the machine?
Hi there! Tearing off the outside sheets is an optional method that we think makes the process a little easier but if you wanted to keep them, you could remove only the liner of the binding strip by simply peeling it back and pulling it off.
In this case, the glue from the strip would wrap onto the front and back covers of your book, allowing you to melt the glue to both the spine and the cover (instead of only on the spine). If you wanted to go with this option, you'd want to turn the "Cover Seal Cycle" on in the perfect binding options menu.

hello whats the name of paper used for cover?
thanks for the video. Do you sell blank paperback pocket books? Blank.
No, unfortunately we only sell the equipment and supplies to bind your own paperback pocket books. Thanks for the question!
What kind of paper did you use for the cover of the book?
In this video we're printing on 100lb (270gsm) covers and using 1.5mil lamination.
if you used an ink printer would have the same concerns with heat?
Great question! Ink does not melt with heat as toner does. Sheets printed with ink would are much more resistant to heat and can make for excellent book covers.
How much for this machine and how many books per hour please?
Brand new Fastback 20 tape binders are available for $4,495. For more information, visit our website: www.saddlepointsystems.com/fastback-tape-binding-machines/powis-model-20/
The number of books you're able to produce in an hour is going to depend on a number of factors, including how many sheets are in your book, what kind of cover you're using (different covers require different bind times) and what kind creasing equipment you're using for the covers (i.e. manual vs. automatic). For example, you'll be able to bind a significantly higher number of books that are 0.25" wide versus a 1" wide book because you can bind 5-6 of the 0.25" book blocks at a time, whereas you can only bind one 1" book block per cycle.
Our lower-limit approximation for production speed is about 20-30 books per hour (depending on spine width) using our most basic manual scoring equipment, while our upper limit approximation is about 60-70 books per hour (again, depending on spine width) using our more automated scoring equipment.
Hope this information helps!
Hey Jim...can I use the Fastback for different size books?
Yes! If you're trying to bind books whose length is less than 11", you can either cut the strip to the desired length prior to binding or chop the book down to size in a guillotine paper cutter after binding it. The longest document the Fastback 20 will bind is 12 inches.
@@Saddlepointsystems what paper type do you use. I used 320gsm paper but it cracked on the spine.. please tell me the type of paper used
@@FirstLast-tx3yj Hello! We used a 100lb (271gsm) Hammermill Cover for that video, laminated with a 1.5 mil gloss film in our Fujipla ALM 3230 Laminator. The lamination is not required, but it does help protect any toner on the spine from the heat of the Fastback.
As far as the cracking in the spine goes, most coverstock should work. Have a look at the spine width between the creases for the cover. It is very important that the book block sits squarely against the whole surface of the cover to bind well. We tend to crease the cover so that the bumps from the creases face outward and don't interfere with the book resting in the spine of the cover to assist with this as well. If there is any glue inside your machine, that can affect the cover from sitting squarely as well, so be sure the heater is nice and clean (see our Model 20 cleaning video). CAUTION: be sure to let the machine cool before cleaning.
If the spine sits well, the other thing you can adjust on the Model 20 is the spine time in the TA Settings menu. You may wish to add a few seconds (try +2 first, then +4, etc) in small increments to compensate for a heavy cover. Too much time can cause a weaker bind in some cases, so find a good balance.
Lastly, be sure to tap/press the block down into the cover at the appropriate times as demonstrated in the video, and be SURE to let the book rest immediately in the cooling rack for several minutes. This is imperative for a good bind.
Good luck, and let us know if you have any more questions! Thanks for watching!
Can this do different size books?
Yes! If you're trying to bind books whose length is less than 11 inches, you can either cut the strip to the desired length prior to binding or chop the book down to size in a guillotine paper cutter after binding it. The width for any book bound in the Fastback 20 ranged from 0.1 - 1.5 inches.
Good day sir, how to laminate the cover? can you give me video please. Thanks God Bless
Good day to you, Elizabeth :)
There are a few different ways you can laminate the covers, but the easiest way is to use an automatic laminator that laminates and automatically trims the sheets to the size you want. If you don't have an automatic laminator, you would need a guillotine paper cutter to trim the covers.
Here are a couple of videos of our two favorite automatic laminators:
Fujipla ALM3230 Full Automatic Laminator
ua-cam.com/video/xbxrv_4tx18/v-deo.html
LAMI Revo-Office Automatic Laminator
ua-cam.com/video/X3RmaaKhpow/v-deo.html
how long the pages stay together
We have Fastback® tape bound books on our shelves that are 25+ years old whose binds are as strong as ever. As long as the book is allowed to cool after going through the bind cycle, the glue should hold the pages in indefinitely; it's more likely that the paper itself will tear over time.
Is the adhesive expesive?
The creasing machine looks beautiful, but at more than $1,000 I think most of us won't be able to afford that. There are a couple of similar machines made of steel only which range from $100-300. Hopefully you'll lower the price someday and I'll be the first one to order.
Thank you for the input, Proper Polymath! We do offer one of those more affordable steel models you mentioned on our website (the ProCrease M2.1), and those are certainly respectable machines if you aren't doing much creasing.
The Powis Scoring Machine is more suitable for mid-volume creasing, especially if you're creasing a variety of different patterns. The value of the Powis Scoring Machine comes in its precise and easy setup (made especially possible by the transparent dies), which gives it unparalleled efficiency over other manual scoring machines.
I'm in Amman, Jordan; i would be willing to learn how we could import your products here to offer them to the Jordanian People.
If you're interested in becoming a Fastback dealer for your region, we recommend contacting the manufacturer Powis Parker directly and see what they say. Here's their website with a contact form: mypowis.com/contact/
