A5 RING 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 A5 binders uses the six most common capacities: 13mm, 15mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm and 40mm.

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). Commonly used for staff handbooks and works manuals. Ring centres at 80mm.
2 rings are stocked in the following capacities: 2 Round Rings 13, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40mm. 2 D-Rings 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40mm.

3 RINGS: Commonly used in the computer software industry. 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 70 - 70mm.
3 Rings are stocked in the following capacities: 3 Round Rings 20, 25, and 40mm. 3 D-Rings 15, 20, 25, 30 and 40mm.

4 RINGS: The best form of fittings for price lists and reference manuals. Has the least risk of tearing the pages in heavy use. Ring centres at 45- 65- 45mm.
