Refers to the part where the front cover of a book meets the back cover, which is equivalent to the thickness of the book block. After printing, in order to make the inner core of books and periodicals, after the book is formed, the pages are folded in the correct order to form a flat spine. After punching, gluing or wire binding, plus the cover, the spine is formed.
What does spine mean?
Bopomofo
Explanation: 1 The binding of this book. The spine of a new type of binding is generally printed with the title of the book, the name of the author and the name of the publishing institution.
What is the position of spine?
1. Binding spine position
Spine position = (number of pages in the inner page /2)* thickness of paper used in the inner page
2. hardcover spine position
Spine position = book block thickness+(cardboard thickness *2)
The spine refers to the thickness of the book, and the calculation method is:
A, (p number ÷ 2) × 0.00 1.346× paper gram = spine
P number: refers to the total number of pages of the same kind of paper. Usually, an A4 paper is 2P, and the design company calculates the P number according to it.
2 10mmX285mm, calculated, i.e. 16.
No matter how wide the book is, when calculating the spine, the p number is to calculate the pages of the same paper. If there are different papers, calculate the thickness of other papers and finally add them up to get the total thickness of the book.
B, (p number ÷2)× inner page paper thickness = spine.
The thickness of inner page paper is generally called 128g, 157g, etc.
C, 0. 135 X g/100 X page = spine thickness This formula is suitable for low grams (128g or less).
Gram weight divided by 1800, multiplied by the total number of pages, plus 1.5mm! !
The number of pages in the book is divided by 100 and then multiplied by the parameter 50 g: 3.5 60 g: 3.8 70 g: 4.0.
The calculation formula of professional spine of printing house is 0. 135 X grams/100 X pages (special attention: pages are not codes) = spine.

Introduction of spine
Spine (back, spine; Spine) refers to the part where the front cover and back cover of books and periodicals meet, which is equivalent to the thickness of the book block. After printing, in order to make the inner core of books and periodicals, after the book is formed, the pages are folded in the correct order to form a flat spine. After punching, gluing or wire binding, plus the cover, the spine of the book is formed, also known as the spine.

Hot melt adhesive for wireless binding of books and periodicals.
The colors of hot melt adhesive for wireless binding of books and periodicals are milky white, transparent, light yellow, grayish white translucent and dark yellow. Hot melt adhesives for books and periodicals are divided into edge adhesives and back adhesives according to their uses.

The spine is like the spine of a book. Which of the following options does not necessarily need to appear on the spine?
Generally speaking, the main design elements in the cover, such as book title, series name, logo, author name, publishing house name, etc. It should be on the spine. Except that the font size changes as needed, it is best to keep the font and color consistent. In order to ensure the clear expression of the spine, we should try to reduce the design elements and levels, and never copy all the design elements on the cover to the spine, making it crowded and confusing, causing visual confusion.
The name of the best writer. If it is too long, you don't have to write it, but you must clearly write the title, the name of the series and the name of the publishing house, highlight the title and treat it artistically. In this way, you can lose the impression that there is no author.
But if it is a masterpiece, it is a selling point and a bright spot. I suggest writing as much as possible. This is an important factor.
The following passage is for your reference:
Although the importance of spine design has been unanimously recognized, it is not easy to design a good spine, sometimes it is not a problem of design ability, but a problem of ideology. At present, the book market is gradually opening up, and the forms of publishing, distribution and marketing have undergone great changes, especially in the bookstore, the last link that directly contacts readers. The specific sales scale and display mode are obviously different from the past. Now, although bookstores, large and small, are trying to expand the exhibition space, they still can't keep up with the increase in the variety and quantity of books published. Therefore, there is fierce competition in the publication and distribution of books, and it is not easy for books to be put on shelves in bookstores. In particular, there are more and more books with the same theme, title and quality, and the competition for exhibitions is self-evident. Bookstores reluctantly put many books on the shelves, only giving the spine a chance to show their faces, which can be described as "an inch of space and an inch of gold." It is not easy for readers to find the books they need in the complicated spine, especially in the library. Even the books at home are inserted on the shelves. Judging from these situations, the importance of spine design will become more and more obvious, which is a long-term practical problem.
Some people say that the cover is the first side of the book, and the spine is the second side of the book. No matter from the perspective of function or artistic vision, it should be emphasized that the spine and cover are equally important. The key of spine design is a question of understanding and thinking. As long as we understand the following key problems and solve them one by one, we can meet the requirements of spine design.
First of all, from the design function-the window of information transmission
The spine is an inseparable part of the cover, so when designing the cover, we should imagine the spine as a plane. Of course, the back cover and binding should be the same, but when designing the back cover and binding, the design strength will be deliberately weakened to set off the main position of the cover and spine. Generally speaking, the main design elements in the cover, such as book title, series name, logo, author name, publishing house name, etc. It should be on the spine. Except that the font size changes as needed, it is best to keep the font and color consistent. In order to ensure the clear expression of the spine, we should try to reduce the design elements and levels, and never copy all the design elements on the cover to the spine, making it crowded and confusing, causing visual confusion. The application of patterns, pictures and symbols should be concise and clear. Functional demand is the first element of spine design, which is mainly reflected by text information. Obviously, the title of the book is the main element. In order to ensure the main role of the title, we should break through the randomness of font selection and pay attention to the innovative design of font. For example, the combination design of fonts must be reasonable and beautiful in structure, strong in contrast and easy to identify. The layout of characters should not be placed evenly. We should not only focus on the subject, but also echo the object, enhance the cohesion of identification information, and grasp the visual comfort of readers when reading.
Second, starting from the artistic requirements-between square inches, do it now.
Many friends who collect stamps know a saying: "A small world in a square inch". Although stamps are only one inch square, they can contain all kinds of situations in the world and strive for perfection in artistic design. The spine of this book is also one square inch. The difference is that its shape is longer and narrower. When designing the spine of a book, we should also consider the artistic design style of the cover, and we can't design it independently. The specific requirements should be that the layout of design elements is reasonable and conforms to the artistic modeling characteristics. According to the width of the spine, we should think about appropriate design techniques and conceive exquisite and interesting design forms. Perhaps only books can provide such a unique design space. Don't treat it as a difficult problem, but use a unique artistic vision to play its unique charm. When the books of a single book play the artistic design of the spine, it is true ......
