When our bindery produces an order for any customer with periodicals, we return with the order pre-printed binding slips (example below). The customer keeps these filed. When submitting another volume of the title for binding in the future, the appropriate ticket is pulled from the file, and the variable information for the new volume is added. The ticket is attached to the book block bundle and boxed for shipment. Each volume has a unique ticket even if they are all of the same title. These tickets provide all the necessary information for our bindery to produce new bindings that will match the previous ones, and that will allow us to continue to match them in the future.
