FlexBind® is designed to be compatible with all the traditional book binding techniques used commonly for photo books today. Below is a table describing many of the common methods and the applicable FlexBind® spine measurement. Because each binding method works slightly differently, a different FlexBind® spine dimension will be required for each method. The figures included below are only guidelines, each process should be further optimized.
