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.

Ring Capacity	Round Ring	Angle D-Ring	Straight D-Ring
1/2"	110	125	125
3/4"	155	185	185
1"	190	250	250
1 1/2"	265	375	375
2"	435	500	500
2 1/2"	500	625	-

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?
