Thermal binding is a popular bookbinding technique where the pages of a book are glued together using a heat-sensitive adhesive. This process involves placing the pages in a binding cover and applying heat, which melts the adhesive, allowing it to seep into the pages and then cool to secure them firmly in place. Ideal for children's books, thermal binding provides a durable and visually appealing finish while allowing for a variety of cover designs and sizes. This method not only enhances the book's aesthetic but also ensures that the pages stay intact despite repeated use.
