Glue for Binding Books

Our glue book binding products come in different variations, each with specific features to address all types of bookbinding needs. To make it easier for you to select which one is most suitable for your particular requirement, we've arranged our glue binding products by item number, along with a brief description of each.

So for instance, if you look at BB-1, you can readily know what it's best for based on its description. If you're looking for all-in-one glue for bookbinding, the BB-1 is what we recommend. You can use this for casing-in, tipping, case-making and laminating.

If you're going to be gluing by hand, we recommend the BB-5. This glue book binding product is ideal for casing-in. It is particularly formulated to act as a strong casing-in paste.

For machine-operated bookbinding, we have a special starch paste specifically for this purpose. The BB-6 paste is best for uncoated stock, and recommended for use alongside your over-sewing and folding machine.

Now, if what you need are adhesives for book jackets and repairs, take a look at BB-11. This polyvinyl acetate-formulated adhesive is one of our most popular products for book repairs and book jackets.

Finally, for basic paper-on-paper book repair, we recommend using the BB-10 glue binding solution. You can use this on paper substrates and most lightly-coated stock.
