It wasn"t until the 19th century that other forms of binding (binding with wire, hot glue, etc. //) became possible or popular. Scoring or perforation should be completed before foiling to lessen the chance of creasing (typically done with in line folding) Offline scoring and folding must be completed for sheetfed products that require folding (brochures, cover flaps on a book, etc. ) Mechanical binding (spiral binding, wire-o binding, plastic comb/cerlox binding) Is the typical binding method for low page count, soft cover books (approx. less than ) Sections of the book, called signature, are inserted inside one another and the book is bound with staples or stitches.
