(Padding)
Some printed applications are padded into tablets or booklets with the use of an adhesive applied to one edge of a group of sheets. Padding techniques are actually a form of binding, but the resulting pad or booklet is not intended to remain permanently bound - the padded edge serves only to keep the sheets together until a sheet is used and then detached from the padded edge.

Most of the padded products begin as single sheet items, which are then gathered and padded into various quantities to create note and memo pads, prescription pads, coupon pads, and many other similar applications. The padding compound is usually a type of glue, which dries to a soft or semi-hard consistency.

(The following steps are common for applications using cold glue)
A large quantity of single sheets is stacked into a pile. Chipboard or some type of heavy paper is inserted at designated intervals, which serves as a backer material and gives the pads stability. The pile of sheets and pad backers are carefully jogged and precisely stacked to create a smooth edge for the application of the glue. The entire stack is jogged toward the side where the padding compound is to be applied.

A standard paintbrush is used to apply the glue to the stack of sheets. After the glue is applied to the smooth edge of the stack, weight is applied to the top of the stack or the entire stack is clamped into a device called a padding press.

When the glue has dried, the weight or clamp is removed. A knife is inserted into the large stack along the bottom of each piece of backer material in order to cut the glue and create the individual pads.
