No one ever accused Hagadone of being spineless.
When it comes to binding, the spine is where it all comes together – literally – and we use industry-leading equipment to make sure your paper-bound book, novel or magazine stands the test of quality. With our perfect binding, our Mueller Martini Norm Perfect Binder roughs the edge of a bound book, exposing paper fibers to the gluing process. This is far more effective, resulting in a much stronger bind. After collating and gluing, the face, head and foot are trimmed.

We also offer Saddle Stitching services, which binds pages together by driving staples though the centerfold of a group of signatures (pages) after they are collated. Many magazines and newsletters are bound by saddle stitching.
