The invention is directed to a method for producing printed products, in particular softcover books, with integrated cover, where method includes at least the steps: printing of paper web or individually supplied paper sheets, preferably by means of digital printing; single or multiple folding and cutting of paper web to form signatures or else single or multiple folding of paper sheets to form signatures; stacking of signatures to form signature stack with at least one top and one bottom signature; folding open top sheet of top signature or else bottom sheet of bottom signature and applying an adhesive layer in at least area of folded-open sheet, which is intended to include at least spine and/or an area of signature stack adjacent to spine; and turning over sheet folded open and provided with adhesive layer around spine of signature stack, so that cover for printed product is formed.

Method for producing printed products with integrated cover

In a material web which is printed in a digital printing station and moved in an advancement direction, a first material-web strand, which is formed by at least one printed material-web portion, is combined with a second material-web strand, which is formed by two printed material-web portions, by folding. The two material-web strands are connected to one another by an adhesive. Subproducts are then severed from the thus interconnected material-web strands by cross-cutting. These subproducts comprise a first printed sheet, severed from the first material-web strand, and a second printed sheet, connected to the first printed sheet and severed from the second material-web strand. The subproducts are then positioned one upon the other to form a stack, the subproducts being connected to one another by an adhesive in the region of the subsequent folding line. The stacked subproducts are then folded about a folding line to form an end product.

Method of, and apparatus for, producing multi-leaf, folded printed products, in particular periodicals and brochures

In a first step, in a printed material web () moved in a feed direction, a first material web part () which is formed by a material web section ()is folded against the rest of the material web () that is formed from two material web portions ()).In the region of a connecting line () extending between neighbouring material web sections () the two material web parts (,) are connected to one another by a means of a bonding adhesive. In a subsequent step the material web () is folded again along a line () extending between two neighbouring material web sections. ()All material web sections () lie above one another. Subsequently, multi-page sub-products (), the pages () of which are connected to one another in the region of the spine () of the sub-product, are separated from the twice-folded material web (). Finally, the sub-products () are placed on top of one another to form a stack () and are connected to one another in the region of the spine () thereof by means of a bonding adhesive.

Method for producing printed products consisting of at least three sub-products

In order to form stacks, of which each forms a book block, folded sheets are provided with an adhesive application or layer of adhesive before they are placed on one another. Said adhesive application is applied to the sheets adjacent to the folded edge of said sheets and extends in the direction of said folded edge which comes to lie in the spine of the book block. The adhesive can be applied as a continuous track or as a track which is interrupted multiple times, or else in a punctiform manner. The sheets are joined to one another in the stack by means of said adhesive application, with the result that they maintain their position within the stack during further transport of the stack.

Method and apparatus for producing stacks which form book blocks

For the production of different types of newspapers, the material web printed in a digital printing system () passes through a further processing system (), whose most important structural units are a side edge cutting station (), a longitudinal cutting station (), a crosscutting station (), a first collecting station (), a crossfolding station (), a longitudinal folding station (), a stitching station (), a second collecting station () and a delivery station (). The sheets separated from the material web in the crosscutting station () are placed on one another in the first collecting station () to form sections. These sections are folded transversely with respect to the direction of movement (Y) in the crossfolding station (). In the longitudinal folding station (), the sections are folded in their direction of movement (Y). In the stitching station (), the sheets of a section are joined to one another along the longitudinal fold. In the second collecting station (), a plurality of sections are inserted into one another. The side edge cutting station (), the longitudinal cutting station (), the crossfolding station (), the stitching station () and the second collecting station () can be deactivated from case to case, depending on the format and/or composition of the newspaper to be produced in each case.
