I assume you mean a hinged print.
Methyl cellulose is the recommended glue. It can be bought at good art
stores. Make hinges out of thin paper. Japan Rice paper is good. Make the
hinges out of a paper that is weaker than the paper the print is on, thus
if anything tears, it will be the hinge and not the print.
