Binders

Binders are part of the basic equipment in every office. They are always used when loose sheets are to be filed in a space-saving and thematically sorted manner. Insert sheets at any place in the file binder in seconds and always have your documents at hand.

Choosing the right binder

The lever-arch mechanism is a standard feature of every file binder. It allows you to quickly insert and remove individual sheets. The wire fastener fixes the sheets in the binder. In addition, most binders have a grip hole to make it easier to remove the binder from the filing cabinet and a metal edge protector to protect against wear and tear. The space-saving slots on the front of the letter file save shelf space and provide stability. So when choosing a file binder, consider what features are important to you. Other selection criteria besides lever action and finger hole are material, size, spine width and color of the binder.

Cardboard binders

Binders made of recycled paper or cardboard are common. The material is hard-wearing and at the same time protects the environment. Everyone has probably come across the classic green bar cardboard binder in cloud marble look. In the meantime, the binders are sometimes provided with a cover made of PVC, so that they are even more robust. Binders made of cardboard are still very popular and keep order in many offices and help to archive documents.

Binders made of plastic

In addition to cardboard binders, there are also more and more binders made of plastic on the market. These binders convince by their longevity and stability. The material used is mostly polypropylene (PP), but polyvinyl chloride (PVC) is also used. The binding can be both rigid and flexible, depending on the intended use. Plastic office binders are available in a wide variety of colours.

What file widths and formats are available?

The standard binder in portrait format offers space for filing documents in Din A4. Wide binders have a width of 80 mm and are most commonly used in the office environment. Narrow binders have a width of 50 mm. These two standard sizes are the most popular for A4 binders. However, there are also binders that differ in width and format from this standard. For example, A4 binders are also available in landscape format. In addition, there are various binders special formats for special requirements.

Why binders in different colours?

Coloured binders provide the basis for structured filing. The individual colours can be assigned to different task areas, company divisions, projects or years. Binders in different colours therefore provide a quick overview and make it easier to find documents. In addition, you can adapt your binder inventory with coloured binders to your company's own corporate design and thus present a uniform image. Binders with spine labels for labelling also provide a better overview.
