Turned Edge is a durable construction in which paper or cloth material is glued to chipboard and turned over the edges. This construction is similar to a gameboard. It is also known as casebound binders or hardback binders. Turned Edge Binders are great for high-end presentations or fine-graphics.
Characteristics:
- Durable and made with solid, unitized chipboard
- Constructed with offset printed 100# gloss text or a variety of book cloth materials
- Can choose between gloss or matte laminate.
- Can be offset printed, silk-screened, debossed or foil stamped
Binder Tips:
- Ring Type – For the metal or ring in your binder, you have several options. The most common metals have 3 rings and vary from 1⁄2″ to 3″ in diameter.
- Round rings are circular and the most common ring used. They are all-purpose and work well for many applications. Round rings can be attached to the spine or back cover.
- D-rings are shaped like a backward “D”. The flat edge holds the binder contents. The D-ring allows the sheets to lie flat along the straight edge for less wear on the hole punches. D-rings are always attached to the back cover.
- Angle D-rings are the same as a D-ring except the straight edge is angled so the ring is wider at the bottom of the ring than at the top. This ring is especially good for larger capacity binders. Angle D-rings are always attached to the back cover.
- Ring Capacity
- The ring capacity can be gauged by measuring the inside of the metal mechanism. Do not measure the outside spine of the binder. The ring capacity is crucial. If too small, all of your material will not fit on the rings and turning the pages could be difficult.
