Paper over Board Ring Binders

Paper over Board Ring Binder with spot UV varnish finish

Paper over Board ring binders are manufactured using one piece of cardboard covered with printed paper. The printed sheet can now have special finished such as foil or spot varnish before  then usually laminating for protection and adhered to the board. The binder is then creased into shape and the D ring  mechanism (2 hole, 3 hole or 4 hole) riveted in place.

Paper over board ring binders are very versatile as they can be printed with any design, using any specialist paper finishes or materials and the print can go over the edge of the binder. They are also available in a large range of sizes.

Due to the laminated paper, these ring binders are difficult to recycle. Even if a biodegradable laminate is used, the glue used in the process means they will not biodegrade. They are not intended for high intensity use as this soon make them look tatty.

In summary, paper over board ring binders are:

• Able to lay flat when open
• Use FSC paper
• Suitable for wrap around designs
• Made from recycled board
• Possibly the most premium type of ring binder
