Soft binding
Soft binding is often used because of a low price and a fast production. It is characterised by a soft envelope and modes of binding as follows:
A soft binding sewn by a wire is assigned for a low weight (prospectuses, manuals).
Stuck soft binding does not assume often using (magazines, catalogues, paperbacks).
Sewn soft binding assumes more often using (tourist guide).
V1 – soft binding sewn by a wire
The simplest type of the soft binding sewn by a wire (cramps) with low price. This binding is characterized by simple using the most frequently for leaflets, magazines, manuals of companies, educational texts.

V4 – soft binding sewn by a thread
Appropriate binding for higher mechanical weight but not often using. Considering the technology this binding is the most difficult for processing but with higher quality required for example at tourist guides.

Soft binding – Finland brochure Otabind
Glued or sewn brochure hanged in 6x grooved envelope between 1-2 and 5-6 groove.
A hollow part there is between a spine and an envelope because an envelope is not stuck on the spine of the calendar block a therefore its opening is easier than the classic brochure V2 or V4. Hanging into the envelope with bookmarks/without bookmarks.
