The TA strips bind your wrap-around cover with a temperature activated adhesive. As with the binding of your book block, final binding of the cover is done on the Model 20 binder. Your cover is bound entirely to the spine of your book block. Heat sensitive cover materials or printing are not suitable for this method. TA strips can be identified by the single piece of release paper on the back of the strip.

These strips have two narrow bands of release paper, one on each side of the back of the strip.
