Green revolution in Bookbinding for Print on Demand

Project description

Eco-friendly innovation for the bookbinding market

On-demand printing is in constant expansion as it does not require big investments and boasts a fast turnaround. However, adhesive bookbinding used in the post-press market has not advanced over the past decades. Hot melt glue is the main material used in bookbinding, which is harmful for the environment and affects the durability of the final product. A German company is proposing a new adhesive technology for high-quality bookbinding. This environmentally friendly technology will revolutionise the post-press market. The EU-funded Ribler Technology project will complete the feasibility study to upscale its technology for serial production and worldwide commercialisation.
