Ring Binders

Ring binders organise punched pages or document sleeves for filing. Thicker document sets need more spine and mechanism space. The spine layout also allows for a file title that can be read on the shelf.

Applications

  • Project files
  • Dealer presentations
  • Office archive
Minimum order quantity
500 pieces
Spine width and cover dimensions
A4 documents measure 21 × 29.7 cm. If using document sleeves, measure the widest sleeve and the complete stack thickness. When the mechanism closes, the page edges must remain inside the cover.
Mechanism and capacity
Select the mechanism, spine width and total document thickness together for the required capacity. Include any document sleeves in this assessment.
Cover layout
Prepare front, spine and back as one flat layout. Keep important text clear of hinge and rivet areas.
Do ring binders and pocket folders serve the same purpose?
A ring binder holds punched pages or document sleeves using a binding mechanism. In a presentation folder, documents sit in pockets inside the cover. A frequently updated archive and a meeting presentation set may need different arrangements.
Before printing
Document compatibility
Check hole spacing with sample pages and sleeves. Test a full set to ensure the mechanism closes comfortably.
Spine information
Orient the spine title and code for the intended reading direction. Clearly identify each face on the flat cover template.
