Tape Binding

The process of tape binding typically involves the following steps:

1. Collation and trimming: The loose pages are collated in the correct order and trimmed to size.
2. Application of tape: A strip of heat-activated tape is applied along one edge of the pages, covering the entire edge.
3. Heating: The tape is heated using a binding machine or heat gun, which activates the adhesive and fuses the tape to the pages.
4. Cover attachment: A clear plastic or cardstock cover is added to the front and back of the bound document for protection and a professional finish.
