Library Certified Bindings

Better Bindings. Better Books.

MemoryPress takes books beyond simple bookstore or photobook quality. Library Certified Double-fan adhesive bindings use an emulsion copolymer of internally plasticized polyvinyl acetate adhesive (PVA). SAY THAT TEN TIMES FAST! In real people language it just means MemoryPress uses super strong glue that was formulated specifically for preservation materials that will not become brittle with age. After your book rolls off our professional press the binding must be left to dry for one day. During the drying process the glue literally fuses itself into the paper resulting in the highest possible binding strength. The increased strength of double-fan adhesive allows you to print books up to 2 inches thick! Only 30 book binderies world-wide have library certified double-fan adhesive bindings.

Library certified means that each one of your family history bindings have been created following the 27 page book of library binding standards set forth by the (LBI) and the National Information Standards Organization (NISO), and approved by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). These three organizations provided over 200 printing and binding professionals to vote on the world-wide library standard.

Library certified means your personal history, your compilation of poetry and your Mom's anniversary book will stand the test of your kids, your neighbors kids, your grandkids, and even your great-grandkids. MemoryPress is the solution to building your family library.
