Loop stitching is a staple or wire stitching  binding method where the wire is stitched through the document as normal but with extra protruding loops of wire on the spine to enable the document to be bound in a ring binder or later threaded together. Loop stitching can either be achieved with the necessary saddle stitching attachments or by using special 'loop' staples with a regular stapling machine. Loop staples are marked by 'Ri' at the end (standing for Ring staple)

Burst binding is very similar to perfect binding where the spine is glued with hot glue and a cover attached. Burst binding improves on this process by perforating, fine-cutting or 'roughing' the paper spine before binding to allow greater glue penetration and thereby higher spine strength in the finished document.  The scoring or roughing up of the spine is usually done by an attachment on a perfect binding machine - methods can vary depending on the what process you are intending to use.
