<p>Systems and methods of binding sheets (54, 80) by activating a microencapsulated binding agent are described. Each sheet (54, 80) to be bound has an exposed binding surface region near a spine edge (74). A frontside adhesive system (70, 86) is disposed over the frontside binding surface region and comprises a binding agent that is encapsulated in a plurality of microcapsules. The adhesive system (70, 86) is non-tacky to enable the sheets (54, 80) to be stacked and individually processed until the binding agent is released from the microcapsules.</p> |
