When would I choose adhesive/sewn binding over mechanical binding?
There are usually options to consider that balance cost, aesthetics, and functionality. For example, a book that needs to open and lay flat, can be bound with either PUR adhesive binding or double loop mechanical (plastic and wire) binding. If a book requires a printed spine, adhesive/sewn binding is always a good choice, or a book could include a separate printed cover to partially conceal spiral or double loop binding.
