This 60-inch length of 100% cotton banding handles multiple small to medium projects, figure roughly 2-3 inches per standard book depending on spine width. The ivory color works across most binding aesthetics, maintaining a clean, archival look whether you're creating exposed-spine codex bindings or finishing casebound books where the headband shows at the spine's edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCotton construction matters for longevity. Natural fibers resist the brittleness that eventually affects synthetic alternatives, maintaining flexibility as your bound volumes age. The material accepts wheat paste and PVA adhesives readily, creating secure bonds during attachment. Bookbinders working through historical techniques or contemporary fine binding both rely on cotton headbands for this finishing detail that transforms a functional spine into a polished, professional edge. The continuous length lets you cut precise measurements for each project rather than working around pre-cut segments that might fall short or waste material.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lineco","offers":[{"title":"binding band","offer_id":48111551676645,"sku":"13454","price":9.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.texasart.mom\/products\/lineco-cotton-head-band","provider":"Texas Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
