Powis' patented innovations have made strong, beautiful binding accessible to everyone. But, how are they different from traditional methods? How are they better?

Our tape binding vs. manual punch-and-bind
This one's easy. With our one-step process, you get stronger, more polished covers 3.5 times faster. And there's no counting, punching or drilling of pages required.

Our tape binding vs. ordinary tape binding
Ordinary tape binding is flimsy and tends to create binds that fall apart quickly. Our revolutionary patented technology uses 3 specialized glue formulations for a higher-engineered strip that ensures maximum adhesive penetration, structurally sound spine strength and incredibly strong cover adhesion. This results in pages that resist up to 50lbs of pull.

Our hardcover books vs. manufactured books
Our unique StitchFree™ technology lets you add a professional-quality hard cover to your book or document without additional equipment. The adhesive is built in to the cover so there's no messy glue painting. And Fastback® binding machines let you produce short runs of unique content, with no wastage. So you can bind one book (or hundreds) at a time.

PerfectBack® binding vs. traditional perfect binding
Let's say you want to create five paperback books. You'd have to send your job to a bindery with expensive equipment and a large glue vat. With our tabletop Fastback® 15x system and Perfectback® strips, you can bind multiple short runs yourself, with no set up.

Design options
All our materials come in multiple colors and textures. Our Foilfast® printer allows you to customize and personalize your covers in up to 7 foil colors. And our PowisPrinter® lets you title and date your strip-bound spines.
