Post-press processing technology - lock thread binding
Lockwire binding refers to the method of binding a book together with a needle, thread, or rope. This method is mostly used to bind sturdy and durable books, such as encyclopedias, various reference books, art books, and Bibles. For more than 100 years, the most commonly used lockthread binding method was the "Smyth" binding method, which is a method of binding threads through the spine of a book and threading the pages together. The advantage of using this method is that the pages of the book can be laid out flat after they have been bound together. Our most common Xinhua dictionary is the typical way of stitching.
There are two forms of stitching: side binding and riding binding. Side-binding is the way to pass the gutter through the book in a direction parallel to the spine. Like some publications, the side binding method is often used, and the side binding method is firm, but it cannot be completely flattened. Manual stapling is most commonly used in libraries or when doing book restoration work; When using the machine, a needle is threaded through a small hole drilled with a needle and a square lock thread is used to connect the pages together. The two-thread binding has a structure similar to that of a household sewing machine needle and a bobbin, except that the needle passes through a hole in the lock thread that has been drilled to connect the pages together. Saddle binding is a method of binding the pages of a book together by passing the gutter through the middle crease. Because books bound on horseback tend to be spread out flat, this type of binding is more common than side-binding.
