December 2007-Muscle Bound Bindery Marks 40th Anniversary

The beat goes on at Muscle Bound Bindery…

This year marks a milestone for Minneapolis, MN-based Muscle Bound Bindery: Our 40th anniversary! Over the years, we’ve blended state-of-the-art graphic finishing technologies with careful craftsmanship to provide the best-bound products available in the marketplace.

Since our founding in 1967, we’ve earned a well-deserved reputation for binding the strongest, longest-lasting books. Our first customers were the toughest — school children. Our products quickly gained admiration from libraries and classrooms for their ability to withstand heavy and extended abuse from unpredictable users year after year. Simply put, our products have stood the test of time and so have we.

Muscle Bound has advanced from an extension of a publishing house to become a top case binding and softcover book adhesive bindery. We now offer a complete range of bookbinding services to both library binding and commercial customers with a full complement of capabilities including folding, cutting, drilling, shrink wrapping, laminating and more.

About Otabind
Muscle Bound was one of the first companies in the country to add the Otabind layflat adhesive binding system, which we’ve perfected over the past 20 years.  Today, we continue to be one of the leading producers of Otabind books. We also have 40 years of side-sewn case binding and perfect binding expertise, so we’re well-equipped to handle all your bindery projects.

We specialize in the high-quality manufacture of a diverse range of book products offering superior strength and flexibility. These include educational materials, children’s books, sheet music and tab books, yearbooks, cookbooks, annual reports, magazines, catalogs, technical manuals and more.
