My bookbinding tools and stuff

I started binding in July 2023, so I'm certainly no expert, but in case you're interested in what I use to create my binds…

I use Adobe InDesign to typeset and Illustrator for graphics

I print on an old Canon laser printer for black and white and an Epson ET-3830 inkjet for color

I purchase my shortgrain paper from Church Paper (for folios) and the long grain paper I use for quartos is just whatever (nothing special)

I love my punching cradle and guide that I got off etsy.

I use this thread (that I wax with beeswax) for sewing signatures

I love this cardstock for endpapers (Craft Consortium ink drops) but I collect pads of 12x12 cardstock in various designs from craft stores.

I like this bookboard (in black specifically)

ETA: I recently ordered precut boards from Hollander's. I cannot recommend this enough. I got the .10 thick board.

I use these tools for spacing and squaring when creating covers

Everything gets stuck together with this glue. (GET THE POINTY TOP!)

I have an old Silhouette Cameo for cutting vinyl and applying foil to bookcloth (with this pen)

I use this foil quill for freehanding

I apply laser toner foil with this Scotch laminator

I have a thermal binding machine from Amazon and I use these glue strips with it

I have this guillotine (but I don't recommend black for visibility reasons)

I have purchased bookcloth from Hollander's, Colophon, and Amazon. I don't recommend the Allure line if you are decorating with HTV or paint.

Get this heat and bond if you want to make your own bookcloth

I make ribbon bookmarks with charms like these and these crimps.

I get positive feedback and help and kindness from @renegadeguild

Caveat: These are just the tools and supplies I use. I am not an expert. I'm a hobbyist who is relatively new to it. Some of the things I use might be "wrong" but every book I've made works, so who cares?

If you want to see what it looks like when I bind something, here's a short video.

Backslide by Blackkat!

I was testing to see what the limit was for "how big can I make a paperback!" Turns out anything over 125k in this method (legal size quarto) won't fit under my guillotine! Lots of sanding occurred because Backslide (by @blackkatmagick ) was a perfect (for testing) 128k and it did NOT fit under my guillotine. Very educational!

It's a gorgeous and chonky boy. A whopping 776 pages!!! I used my thermal binding machine and it did not flinch.

The cover is designed in canva and printed on cheap cardstock. Then I half laminated it (only laminated the cover side, the back side is plain cardstock so it can be glued).

I also learned why we don't use scrap paper to protect the book in the thermal binding machine-- some of the text from my scrap paper rubbed off onto the spine and won't come off! Fortunately this book is for my own shelf and I'm not bothered by mistakes at all :)

I did spend about an hour fighting the guillotine, sanding, and even got out a chisel to whack at it.

I made many, many mistakes but thankfully few are evident in the final form of the book!

Hope you enjoy :)

3 Beautiful Ways to Use Pressed and Dried Flowers | DIY Crafts You’ll Actually Keep!

I started working with dried flowers and pressed botanicals a few years ago, and it has taught me a few things.

Delicate dried flowers can burn or disintegrate in epoxy resin.

Glossy Mod Podge however much we love it, can make you cry (and even ruin your floral project).

Depending on your project, pressed flowers MUST be chosen as carefully as you would choose fabric, paper, or paint colors.

So how can you still work with these lovely mediums and create long lasting, archival art that you can be proud of? Read more to learn about 3 of the most botanical-friendly crafts.

Framed Glass Art

What you’ll need:

Double sided glass frame. (any size)I buy mine on Aliexpress or Amazon.

Clear glue, glossy mod podge, or a tape runner.

Pressed flowers

Scissors

How to make it:

Start by selecting your botanical specimens and arranging them in your frame. Use scissors to trim and refine your arrangement until it is to your liking.

Remove all of the flowers, and strategically place dots of clear glue on the inner glass. Wait until your glue becomes tacky. The time will depend on the type of glue that you’re using.

Tip: Test out the cure time by placing a few different sized glue dots on a plastic surface. See how long it takes for the glue to become more viscous and less runny.

Place the flowers onto the glass. Make sure to tack down all specimens with glue until they’re difficult to move. Allow the glue to dry completely before closing the glass frame.

Once dry, display your beautiful arrangement!

I love making smaller arrangements for office spaces and display shelves. These also make adorable secondary gifts in care packages.

Glass offers a more eco-friendly alternative to epoxy resin. Though I love working with resin, I’ve started to become more conscious and selective of my usage to creation ratio.

2. Floral Bookmarks

What you’ll need:

Pressed flowers. Preferably long stem flowers that press very flat such as fleabane and daisies. You can also use small flowers without stems.

Self or thermal laminating sheets.

Thermal laminator. (If using thermal lamination)

Scissors

Cricut Cutting Machine (highly recommended for a cleaner result) However, you can also create your own frames. Simply use two gift tags or rectangular pieces of paper. Measure and cut out another rectangle of your preferred size in the center of your paper. Use an X-Acto knife to make the cut out.

Kraft paper cardstock

Glue stick, or my personal recommendation, Kuretake Glue Pens. They will make less of a mess, and create a longer lasting bond on kraft paper.

How to make it:

If using a Cricut machine, start a new project in Cricut Design Space.

Search for “bookmark frame” in the “images” section.

Select a design you like the shape of. You can also create your own by “slicing” new shapes into existing templates.

Resize your design. Choose whatever size will accommodate the shape of your flowers.

Cut out your frames out on kraft paper.

Once you’ve cut out your design, remove half of the frames from the mat. Leave the other half on the mat. This will make keeping them flat easier once you’re ready to assemble everything.

Laminate your flowers. Be sure to use your frame as a guide to arrange them within the window. Leave an inch of space between each arrangement for cutting if you’re making more than one bookmark.

Cut around the flowers, leaving a bit of allowance for gluing them onto the frame. I never measure like I should. Just use the frame as guide to avoid cutting off too much laminating plastic. We will hide the ugly jagged cutting job later. 😅

Return to the mat and apply a generous layer of Kuretake glue to the entire surface of the frames still stuck to the Cricut mat.

Carefully place the laminated floral arrangement on the frame.

Apply another layer of glue around the edges of the lamination, and also on the other frame.

Place the second frame over one of the mat frames, and press down firmly. Tip: You can also place a book on top to keep them flat.

Let your bookmarks dry for about 20 minutes before adding your embellishments. I love using key charms, grommets, ribbons, or tassels.

Check out my inspo photos below! Get creative with decorating.

3. UV Resin Pendants

Before I started working with UV resin, I was told that it isn’t light fast. Which is true for most resins on the market. I’ve also heard that it yellows over time and that the UV light burns flowers.

These are all things that I’ve experienced working with flowers in UV resin. However, I’ve managed to make projects that have stayed glossy, clear, and beautiful for over 2 years now, and I want to share my tips and tricks!

Tip #1: USE a high quality UV resin such as the one from Counter Culture DIY.

Tip #2: AVOID using delicate flowers such as forget-me-nots, hydrangeas, larkspur, etc. If the petals are thin and delicate, they WILL become distorted or burn. Think florets, spaced petals, and small leaves.

Tip #3: USE opaque, strong, and VERY flat flowers such as pressed Violets, Chamomile, Fleabane daisies, Rosettes, Queen Anne’s Lace, and Baby’s Breath.

Tip #4: AVOID flowers with too many overlapping petals. These will trap air bubbles inside of your resin layers that tend to express during curing. They tend to cause very large holes and gaps.

What you’ll need:

Very high quality UV resin (My suggestion: Counter Culture DIY)

Cabochon bases or frame pendants

Barrier tape (if using a frame instead of cabochon base.)

Toothpicks to pop bubbles (I actually prefer using a sewing needle)

Light Curer such as a nail lamp. I use the Melody Susie 36W nail lamp from Amazon. Counter Culture DIY sells one specifically for their UV resin as well.

Pressed Flowers (My favorite seller on Etsy)

Optional: Colorants. I use mica powders, acrylic paints, and black and white resins from Counter Culture DIY (not sponsored, I wish!) These give your resin a background to stand out against.

Nitrile gloves

How to make it:

Start by applying a thin layer of UV resin to your base or taped frame. This will be the layer with color (if using pigments).

2. Pop any visible bubbles with a toothpick and cure the first layer for about 1-3 minutes.

3. Apply a thin dot of clear resin to the first cured layer. This will give your flowers something to stick to as you arrange them.

4. Once your flowers are arranged, apply a few strategic dots of resin around them to keep them in place. Cure the first thin layer without covering the flowers completely. Remember to pop bubbles!

5. Continue to add thin layers. Cure each layer for 1-3 minutes each. Repeat this process until your flowers are covered and your top coat has a domed appearance.

6. Finished! Avoid touching your project for several minutes until fully cooled. You don’t want fingerprints in your shiny top coat!

Hot Air Through Nonwoven Fabric

Hot air through nonwoven fabric, commonly referred to as hot air nonwoven, is a type of nonwoven fabric produced using hot air bonding technology. It is widely used in industries such as hygiene, medical, and filtration due to its softness, breathability, and excellent thermal insulation properties.

Manufacturing Process of Hot Air Through Nonwoven Fabric

The production of hot air through nonwoven fabric involves the following key steps:

Raw Material Selection: The primary raw materials used are thermoplastic fibers, typically polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE), blended with other fibers like polyester to achieve the desired fabric properties.

Web Formation: The fibers are laid out into a web through methods such as air laying or carding. This web is lightweight and has an open, porous structure.

Hot Air Bonding: The laid web is passed through a specialized machine that blows hot air through the web at controlled temperatures. The thermoplastic fibers partially melt, and as the web cools down, the fibers bond together, forming the final nonwoven fabric. This method creates a material with good flexibility and high loft.

Finishing Process: The bonded fabric undergoes further finishing steps such as cutting, lamination, or embossing depending on its intended application.

Key Properties of Hot Air Through Nonwoven Fabric

Lightweight: The fabric is lightweight, making it a popular choice for applications where comfort and lightness are critical, such as in medical garments and hygiene products.

Durability and Strength: Despite its softness, hot air through nonwoven fabric is durable and has good tear resistance due to the bonding of thermoplastic fibers.

Eco-Friendly Options: The fabric can be made from biodegradable or recyclable materials, contributing to sustainable practices in industries like hygiene and medical.

Applications of Hot Air Through Nonwoven Fabric

Hygiene Products:

Diapers: The fabric is commonly used as the top layer in baby diapers due to its softness and breathability.

Sanitary Pads: Its softness and comfort make it a popular material for the top layer of sanitary pads.

Adult Incontinence Products: Used for its comfort and high absorbency.

Medical Products:

Surgical Gowns and Drapes: The fabric provides protection and comfort for medical personnel.

Flexible packaging at Labelexpo Americas 2024

FlexPack@Labelexpo, co-located with Labelexpo Americas 2024, will focus on the complete production chain from materials selection to print, laminating and pouch-making. Andy Thomas-Emans reports.

Flexible packaging will be a key focus at Labelexpo Americas 2024 next month as label converters continue to diversify their product offering and wide web converters seek solutions for the increasing amount of short run work coming their way.

This is a trend we are now seeing across Labelexpo shows around the world. Labelexpo Asia 2023 was the first Labelexpo show to feature a dedicated flexible packaging hall, being effectively a ‘show within a show’. This takes nothing away from Labelexpo’s core focus on label technologies. Rather, these two sectors of the package print industry are entirely complementary.

Why this growing interest from label converters in flexible packaging?

The last decade has seen a quiet revolution in packaging formats as brands have moved more of their premium products into high-value, small-format laminated stand-up pouches as an alternative to labeled containers.

At the same time, label press technology has been evolving towards wider web widths and the ability to handle extensible films. Mid-web presses – defined as in the range 26-30 ins - will be a standout machine category at Labelexpo Americas 2024, and for many label converters these are becoming the main gateway into flexible package printing and converting. These presses can be configured with both UV and extended hot air drier units for water-based inks and coatings.

At Labelexpo Americas 2024, Mark Andy stages the global launch of its 26in-wide P Series S9 press for label and flexible packaging markets. Show attendees can also see the US debut of Nilpeter’s 26in-wide FA-26 following its highly successful launch at Labelexpo Europe 2023 when multiple presses were sold off the show floor. Lombardi shows a print unit from its mid-web Invicta press.

Digital printing of flexible packaging has been dominated by HP since the launch of its 30in-wide HP Indigo 20000-series presses at Labelexpo ten years ago. At Labelexpo Americas 2024, HP marks the US launch of the latest press in this series, the HP Indigo 200k, which greatly increases productivity over previous generation machines.

Flexpack Ecosystem

Entering the flexible packaging market requires much more from a label converter than simply installing a press, either digital or flexo. It requires acquiring a wide range of knowledge about the flexible packaging ecosystem, which is a different world from labels. Put shortly, labels are secondary packaging, not in direct contact with the product, while flexible packaging is the primary container of the product.

This means it is essential to come to grips with the required properties of flexible packaging: burst resistance, moisture and light resistance, structural properties, and, increasingly, sustainability profile. Flexible packaging requires an understanding of lamination, multi-layer structures, barrier properties and surface and reverse printing. The finished pack needs to be tested for a range of properties including leakage and pack integrity.

Following printing and laminating, the pouch needs to be formed ready for filling. And depending on the end use, a filling/dispensing spout may need to be incorporated.

To help converters understand all aspects of the flexpack workflow, Labelexpo Americas 2024 has introduced a dedicated ‘exhibition within an exhibition’ called FlexPack@Labelexpo. This will allow show visitors to focus on materials, lamination technology and pouch manufacturing machinery, supported by a half day deep dive flexible packaging masterclass organized by the Label Academy.​​​​

FlexPack@Labelexpo will be located in Hall F of the Donald E Stephens Convention Center. Exhibitors will be present to talk about everything from materials - films, zippers, thermal laminates, overprint varnishes for example - to curing technology, laminating technology, slitting machinery, pouch-making and spouting equipment.

Companies currently confirmed in the FlexPack@Labelexpo zone include Karlville, Gonderflex, S-One LP, ABG, Mamata, Protect-All, Novaflex, Bonset American Corporation, Sanzip re-closable zipper and Nobelus. In addition, three times a day, visitors will have the chance to attend a short introduction to flexible packaging presented by HP.

Flexpack equipment

Focusing on the equipment on show, Gonderflex will demonstrate its P-8009 GFXW single pass thermal laminator-coater-embellishment-slitting machine. The Labelexpo machine configuration includes lamination, a single flexo unit for either surface or reverse print and textured cold foil application with an integrated JetFX print bar system, followed by slitting and rewinding.

Karlville Converting and Karlville Swiss partner to demonstrate post-print flexible packaging machinery for pouch making, lamination and slitting in partnership with HP Indigo. The company will showcase its compact thermal laminator for surface print application running a Protect-all MET PET with Nobelus Soft Touch thermal laminate.

Alongside is the Karlville Swiss Compact D, a quick change pouch making machine running Charter MDO PE Mono Material.

S-OneLP demonstrates the Cellcoat Systems T-14 thermal laminator, for which the company is the exclusive US and European distributor. S-OneLP also displays its range of flexible packaging films and related primers, including Michelman in-line and off-line primers and water-based varnishes.

Attendees can also see a range of overprint varnishes and coatings helping to achieve bespoke surface effects and protection for printed materials. Available OPVs include water-based, UV, LED, and eBeam varnishes and topcoats.

Companies providing information on different aspects of the flexpack supply chain include, Protect-All, which demonstrates printable barrier films and laminations; Novaflex promoting its laminating systems; and Mamata promoting its pouching machines and Form, Fill, Seal (FFS) equipment.

FlexPack@Labelexpo is also set to attract conventional wide-web flexible packaging converters interested both in meeting existing suppliers and deciding how they will tackle the challenge presented by increasing requests for short run packaging.

It is worth noting that the wide web converting industry generally regards shrink sleeves as flexible packaging – as one more unsupported film application. FlexPack@Labelexpo will follow this categorization, so shrink sleeve materials and converting equipment will be included in the exhibition zone going forward.

At Labelexpo Americas 2024, ABG will demonstrate new and shrink sleeve systems in the FlexPack@Labelexpo zone. The Turret Seaming Rewinder (TSR750) ensures a weld that conforms to any container shape. Alongside this will be ABG’s Doctoring machine (DR450).

Karlville Converting shows its Plus series shrink sleeve seamer running a Bonset CPET as well as a film printed with Siegwerk inks demonstrating a de-inking application.
