The most beloved books take the most abuse, yet those are the ones that are most missed when they’re absent from your shelves.

Fastback^® binding systems allow you to add new covers to broken or torn books without the mess of re-glueing, or the time and expense of outsourcing. Sending books to outside binderies can take up to three months. The Fastback^® system binds in about three minutes. It also allows you to:

Go digital – download public-domain books from the internet and bind them for patrons in under 5 minutes

Take fragile and hard-to-document material and create books that can stand on a shelf.

Title and date the spines so that surveys, reports and papers are easily accessed.

Bind copies of out-of-print books or research requests

Publish and bind your own manuals.

Fastback^® binding machines are designed to solve a range of problems for library technical services:

The Fastback^® system requires only minimal maintenance, doesn’t jam and is extremely durable.

Pages resist 50lbs of pull so your content is kept safe for tens or hundreds of years.

Modern animal-based adhesives turn brittle quickly– pages start falling out and the book is useless. Fastback^® thermoplastic adhesive stays flexible much longer.

Fastback^® lets you cover worn-out books as you go. Professional binding services only accept lots of 50 books or larger. As a result, books sit unused waiting to be sent out for repair.
