A4 BINDERS

The first thing you need to establish is how much paper is going into the binder. This can be calculated or measured using the guide below.

The Duraweld Binder-Fast® range for A4 binders uses the six most common capacities: 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm.

A round ring or a D-ring?
A ROUND RING is usually rivetted on the spine of the binder and enables the pages to be turned easily and quickly. (Beware the rivets hitting pockets or print on the spine).

A D-RING is mounted on the back cover and presents the pages as a book block yet allows easy turning. (The flush edge is needed if using tabbed dividers).
Number of rings?
2 RINGS: 2 rings are the most economic and also the most suitable for use when the simple additions to the binder are envisaged (most offices have a two hole punch). Not suitable for heavy use since the pages are more likely to tear out. Ring centres at 80mm.
2 rings are stocked in the following capacities: 2 Round Rings 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm. 2 D-Rings 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm.

3 RINGS: Mostly used when the binder is housing pages going to or coming from the United States (nearly all loose=leaf supplies in the USA are based on three rings). 3 Rings also prevents the transfer of pages to and from other binders since most will be two or four hole punched. Ring centres at 108 - 108mm.
3 Rings are stocked in the following capacities: 3 Round Rings 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm. 3 D-Rings 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm.

4 RINGS: The commonest form of fitting, keeping all the pages straight. Has the least risk of tearing the pages in heavy use. Ring centres at 80 - 80 - 80mm.
4 Rings are stocked in the following capacities: 4 Round Rings 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm. 4 D-Rings 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50mm. (The 4D 50mm mechanism has an extra centre rivet for greater strength).
