Binders and Binder Sets

Binders allow Easy Content Updates

The primary advantage of ringed Binders is that pages can be added or removed quickly and easily just by opening and closing the rings. This feature makes a ring binder the perfect binding choice for information that needs to be changed or updated periodically.

Another benefit offered by a ring binder is its protective cover, which is rigid and slightly larger than the documents stored inside.

Binders serve many purposes in the world of Business

Many businesses and organizations use Binders that are custom-printed. Having the company's name, logo, marketing slogan, or other brand-related information printed directly on the binder conveys a highly professional image.

Custom-printed binders are especially well-suited for sharing printed information during sales presentations, training seminars, and other important business meetings. Also, because the content can be updated so easily, custom binders are also good for operation and procedure manuals, price lists, product information, technical documentation, and troubleshooting guides.

Turned-Edge Binders

Turned-Edge Binders have a very prestigious appearance. Sometimes called a casebound or casemade binder, these impressive binders are constructed much like a hardcover book with a custom-printed outer cover wrapped over rigid paperboard. A clear laminate (gloss, matte, or soft-touch) is often applied to the printed cover to enhance the look and feel. These binders are called "turned-edge" because the outer cover is sized to overlap the paperboard and bend around its edges. After the cover has been adhered to the front, a paper liner is attached to the inside of the binder to add the finishing touch. This interior liner can be printed or left unprinted.

Standard Vinyl Binders

Standard Vinyl Binders are an economical option. These binders are made by applying a sheet of vinyl over rigid paperboard. The edges of the vinyl are heat-sealed around the paperboard to keep it secure and taught without the need for adhesives. Vinyl Binders are customized by printing directly on the vinyl prior to constructing the binders. Optional padding can be added between the vinyl cover and the paperboard to render a softer feel to the binder. Vinyl binders are available in various base colors upon which the custom imprint is applied. Vinyl Binders can also be customized with foil stamping.

Encapsulated Binders

Encapsulated Binders are similar in construction to standard vinyl binders. However, instead of the vinyl cover being printed upon directly, encapsulated binders have printed inserts sealed within a clear overlay on the exterior of the binder. These printed inserts, usually printed in full color on cardstock, are permanently sealed within the crystal clear overlay. The result is a very vibrant and polished look. Sometimes referred to as Entrapment Binders, these binders can have inserts applied to the front cover, spine, and/or back cover. The clear overlay adds a nice sheen while protecting the printed inserts from moisture, stains, and wear.
