Bookbindery

The bookbindery is located in the Deutsches Museum in the immediate vicinity of the print shop and typesetting department. This proximity makes sense, as the products from the print shop are usually processed here immediately. It is a small manual bindery that realises individual orders quickly and effectively.
Photographs for almost all of the museum's exhibitions and special exhibitions are mounted on exhibition panels here.

Numerous smaller museum publications are produced in this workshop. Various scripts and writings - which the museum collects - are bound together for the archive, or boxes and slipcases are made to store exhibits.

Reference books (e.g. with legal texts) are specially produced for the administration of the museum. Various smaller printed products - admission tickets etc. - are given their final fold in the bookbindery.
The workshop is equipped like a handbook bindery. In addition to manual presses, there is a large cutting machine, a paper drilling machine, a folding machine, a creasing and perforating machine as well as a wire stitching machine.
