BINDER DEFINITIONS
RING
TYPES
Round rings
are circular and the most common ring used.
D rings are shaped like a backward
"D". The flat edge holds the binder contents.
The D ring allows the sheets to
lie flat in the binder along the straight edge.
Angle D ring is the same as a D ring except
the straight edge is angled so the ring is wider at the base of the ring than
at the top.
This ring is especially good
for larger capacity binders.
Tuffy rings are plastic rings. The
end of the ring snaps into the base.
This type of ring is used for
low paper volume (1/2", 3/4" or 1") capacity. It's mostly
used with poly binders.
RING
SIZE
The ring size of a loose leaf binder is determined by the
capacity of the ring, NOT the width of the
binder spine.
To determine the
ring size of a round/tuffy ring, measure the inside diameter.
For a D ring and
Angle D ring, measure the length of the straight or angled edge.
