PVC A3, A4 and A5 ringbinders.
Ring binders are the traditional way of storing loose leaf paper. Our custom-made ring binders are ideal for company handbooks, training manuals and conference planners. Our customers range from hospitals and airlines to marketing agencies and schools.
Sandpiper Plastics can manufacture binders to hold from one to 500 pages. You choose the number of rings, the finish and material and we'll do the rest. Our in-house screen printers can personalise your ring binder with logo/text or a pre-printed sheet can be encapsulated under clear pvc. The options are almost endless! Pockets can be added, e.g. for a business card or CD, can be added. We can also custom make your tabbed divider sets, printed and cut to meet your requirements.
What capacity ring binder do I need?
The thickness and amount of paper you plan to file within the binder will determine the capacity. The most common capacities are as follows:: 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. Simply tell us what you would like to hold in your binder and we will suggest an appropriate capacity.
What type of Ring Mechanism?
There are two most common types of ring mechanisms. A ROUND RING is usually riveted on the spine of the binder and enables the pages to be turned easily and quickly. (Beware the rivets hitting pockets or print on the spine).A D-RING is mounted on the back cover and presents the pages as a book block yet allows easy turning (a straight edge is suggested if you plan to use tabbed dividers).
How many rings?
2 RINGS: 2 rings are the most economic and also the most suitable for use when the simple additions to the binder are envisaged (most offices have a two hole punch). Not suitable for heavy use since the pages are more likely to tear out. Ring centres at 80mm.
4 RINGS: The most popular is the 4 ring mechanism which keeps all the pages straight. Considerably reduces the risk of tearing the pages in heavy use. Ring centres at 80 - 80 - 80mm.
Add pockets to your ring binder
We can supply your ring binder with various pockets to suit your needs. Half horizontal pockets run from left to right and can be placed on the inside front or back cover of your binder or both. Horizontal pockets tend to hold more than vertical pockets though tend to be less secure. Half vertical pockets are fitted from top to bottom and again can be fitted to either the front or back covers. The alternative to vertical and horizontal pockets is the diagonal pocket. We can also provide CD pocket options, business card holders and other bespoke pocket options.
Our Grey Board: Sandpiper Plastics uses medium to heavy grey board for all PVC ring binders (2.5mm thick). This ensures we offer you a professional quality feel and a product that lasts.

When planning your printed sheets for encapsulated binders, remember to avoid rivets hitting critical parts of the print (telephone numbers,addresses etc). Please also bear in mind that the sheets are much bigger than A4or A5; they need to cover the whole surface of the binder. |
