New Year - New Service - PUR Binding - Jan 2017
We have installed a Horizon BQ-470 Book Binder at our Dartford site to carry out PUR Binding.
PUR Binding refers to a method with using Polyurethane Reactive (PUR) adhesive.
PUR Binding is a form of perfect binding, where the pages and cover are glued together at the spine and the other three sides of the book are trimmed as needed to give them clean “perfect” edges. PUR is so strong and pliable, less adhesive is needed to firmly bind the cover and pages. Less glue means less distortion of the spine’s shape, resulting in a crisp, square appearance…even on thinner books.
If you are looking for a binding service that offers quality and durability, chose PUR Binding.

Tribute to Paul Girt
It is with great sadness we inform you that Paul Girt, our production supervisor passed away on Tuesday 24th November after a very short illness at the age of 41.
Paul Girt has worked in the industry since he left school and worked his way up to manage the production side of the business for Unique Finishing Solutions. He was a well thought of individual and it has left many friends and colleagues devastated by his passing.
Inside work Paul was knowledgeable and hardworking, many would look to him for his expertise and experience. He was a well-liked individual and has worked with the majority of his co-workers for many years.
Andrew Hall (Managing Director) - “I had the pleasure to work with Paul from when he was 17, he started work in the warehouse and then quickly progressed to machine minder. In those early days his aptitude for anything mechanical or electrical was obvious and as the company grew he became more involved in all installations forming a close bond with all engineers, he was able to turn his hand to anything, becoming a key member of staff. ”
Outside of work Paul was married to Michelle and family life was very important to him. He always put others first and took a lot of time out to look after his parents. Paul had a love of cars and all things mechanical, in previous years he took part in many competitive sports and was a regular at the Hawley gun club.
Paul will be sadly missed and our thoughts are with his family and friends.
Paul’s funeral will be held on Wednesday 16th December 2015 at 10am at:
