How is thermal binding different than comb or coil binding methods?
Thermal binding uses pre-glued spines instead of plastic or wire combs or coils and requires no paper punching. As the name suggests, thermal binding also uses heat as part of the binding process. Paper is placed neatly into the pre-glued spine which is then placed into the pre-heated heating tray of the thermal binding machine. The heat melts the glue adhering the spine to the pages of the document. Once the glue cools and hardens, the newly bound book has an immaculate, professional finish.
