What is a perfect binder? 

Perfect binders are specialized machines designed to efficiently join sheets of paper, whether they are individual sheets or signatures (sheets with multiple pages printed and folded), using adhesive and a wrap-around cover. This process creates a square-shaped spine, resulting in what is commonly known as a soft cover book. 

There are various types of perfect binding, all falling under the category of soft cover books. The main distinctions can be made between sewn soft cover books and regular soft cover books. In the case of a sewn book, the pages are first sewn together and then inserted into the binder to receive its cover. 

Here at Mekes Graphic Machinery, we recognize the crucial role that perfect binders play in the production process. The used perfect binders we offer are renowned for their outstanding performance, reliability, and user-friendliness. These machines are meticulously engineered to maximize productivity, delivering high-quality outcomes while minimizing waste and downtime. 

 

Three knife trimmers 

A three knife trimmer is a special cutting device, like a big pair of scissors, that trims three sides of a book at once. It has two parallel blades and one blade that cuts at a right angle. You can use three knife trimmers to cut brochures, soft cover books, and the blocks of pages for hardcover books. When choosing a three knife trimmer, important things to consider are how quickly you can switch between different cutting jobs and how fast it can cut. Some popular brands of three knife trimmers are Wohlenberg, Muller Martini, and Kolbus. To make the process smoother, you can put a delivery belt or a stacker behind the trimmer to collect the cut pieces.
