FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I measure the ring size on my binder?

Binders are measured by ring capacity.
Do not measure by the spine size.

To determine ring capacity of the Round Rings measure the inside
diameter of the ring. For a D-Rings and Angle Rings, measure
the straight or angle part of the ring respectively.

See diagram below:

The followingchart shows the approximate number
of 20lb. bond that each ring size will hold.

How do I know what areas I can have printed on a binder?

See the Diagram Layout below to help you with your decision.

This diagram shows the terminology commonly used to define position,
type arrangement, reverses and bleeds for preparing layouts
and mechanical art.

You may print as many colours as required. We are able to print the product
on the front and back covers, spine and also the inside if required.
Colours can be running off the binder (Bleed).

If I am doing my own artwork or having my graphic artist
do the layout, what format do you require for screen
printing or foil stamping?

Please see Graphics Specifications
