The creation of electronic media has changed the attitude towards books for some time. The ease of use of numerous types of computers and gadgets has captivated young and mature readers. It seemed that traditional book printing was becoming a thing of the past. Some time has passed. It turned out that the pleasure of reading traditional printed publications is incomparable with absorbing information from electronic media. There has been a renewed interest in old books, which require binding to preserve them. There are many materials for binding books. The most affordable and practical is the usual calico.
What is calico
Sample of calico
Man learned to put together papyrus sheets and cover them with leather back in the 2nd century AD. e. For fifteen centuries, book binding was sporadic and carried out on individual orders. Mass binding appeared with the active development of the book trade. In the middle of the 19th century, bookbinding workshops equipped with special equipment appeared. To protect the covers of books, they used different canvases and calico. The history of the appearance of calico has not yet been fully elucidated. There are two main versions:
- European;
- Indian.
The truth, it seems to us, is in the middle. Apparently, the material was created in Asia and improved in Europe.
Calico is a calico that has undergone special treatment. Calico is a harsh fabric made from cotton threads.

How to make calico
To produce calico, unbleached calico is used. The technology includes several stages.
- Severe calico is painted with acid dyes to match the color of the primer, which will be applied at the next stage.
- The fabric is dried and ironed.
- The primer for the reverse side is made up of kaolin clay, casein glue, starch, and water.
- Apply primer to the reverse side so that the mass of the layer is 20 g/m2.
- When preparing the primer for the front side, 0.5-1% dye is added to the same composition.
- The primer is applied to the front side using a special device once or twice.
- Then the calico is smoothed on friction calenders.
- Using an embossing calender, a pattern can be formed on the fabric.
When binding, the fabric is placed on the cover - the lid and on the fold - the main strip connecting the pages to each other and the lid. Fabric requirements are different. In accordance with this, two types of calicoes are produced.
- For the manufacture of cover covers, calico KP, having a density of 170 g/m2, is used.
- To make folds, they use KF calico, which has a density of 135 g/m2. This fabric is not calendered. It has a matte surface, which has a high adhesion force to the glue.
The rigidity of the gearbox exceeds the rigidity of the CF by 2-3 times.
Why Modern?
Conventionally, bookbinding calico has several types. One of the most popular has become the dense type, which is used for finishing boxes, cases, folders and other office supplies. It was called “Modern” calico for its innovative production method and much greater capabilities than the classic type of this material. Calico "Modern" material is worth buying if you need to obtain a durable and flexible material.
The composition of the primer of this type of calico includes latex, which increases the elasticity and elasticity of the material, maintaining its integrity.

Advantages and disadvantages of calico
The fabric that ensures the safety of the book differs from ordinary textile materials. The calico must meet the following requirements:
- easily and quickly accept twisting after moisturizing on one side;
- do not form cracks on bends;
- preserve the color and texture of the embossing after gluing to the cardboard base;
- change color slightly after exposure to sunlight;
- have increased resistance to friction.
The book is a source of knowledge.
Calico is produced with various types of texture, coloring, possibilities for foil stamping, and processing with binding inks.
Modern technologies make it possible to produce high-quality calico, which, however, is not without its drawbacks. Let us indicate the main negative properties:
- moderate water resistance of starch coating;
- possibility of material aging;
- the likelihood of starch layer shedding;
- soiling;
- tendency for the material to become completely wet when gluing;
- the ability of mold to grow on the surface of calico;
- the usual appearance of the binding, not particularly sophisticated.

Calico is a binding material made from cotton fabric (most often calico). It is covered with a colored film, the dyes of which remain between the warp threads. Various films are used, for example, for “Modern” calico - with latex. The reverse side of the calico fabric is covered with a light primer containing mineral fillers.

calico for binding has a disadvantage due to the non-water-resistant coating. Concord offers binding calico , the cover layer of which is made of latex. This provides calico as a binding material with strength, as well as excellent acceptance of embossing and printing with paints.
If you need to manufacture a product that will be actively used, you should pay attention to calico coated with an additional layer of nitrocellulose varnish.
Application of calico
from calico , which can be additionally decorated with foil stamping or a printed design. Due to the fact that during production you can use other types of fabric (pique, dewdrop, etc.), giving a varied texture to the calico. Calico binding material can satisfy any artistic requirements for a publication.
For the production of gift editions, book covers, and passports, it is recommended to use calico . Calico is sold in rolls, the width of which is 85 cm and the length is 100 meters. The average weight of a roll is 16 kilograms with a material weight of 185 g/m2.
