Method and system for permanently fastening an in-line plastic book spine utilizing bind spine tabs. Paper sheets can be formed into an aligned book block. A set of rectangular holes can be configured on binding edges of the paper sheets and book covers. Each bind spine tab can be inserted into the rectangular holes and connected with a binding strip utilizing a mechanical material fastening process, an ultrasonic sealing/welding process and/or a mechanical tab fastening process. The mechanical material fastening process can fasten the book spine together by a stitch or piercing a mechanical material therein. The ultrasonic sealing/welding process can apply ultrasonic waves on the spine tab and the strip to bond together. The mechanical tab fastening process can insert a pre-cut series of mechanical tabs into die-cut slots on a mating side of the book spine.
