It may be hard for some people to realize that not all binders are alike. For example, if you require a binder that will be distributed to many people at an upcoming convention or an important business meeting, then presenting the information about your company in a flimsy binder would be a complete embarrassment!
Below are some important things to consider when seeking the proper binder to help your business stand out:
- Usage – How much will this binder be used? If you are giving a presentation, you will need a binder that is more durable than the kind you find sitting on office shelves.
- Ring Style – O-ring binders are for small projects, while D-rings are for larger projects. Determine the appropriate ring type by finding out how large your project will be.
- Thickness – How many sheets do you plan on stuffing into this binder? Nothing is more unattractive and unprofessional than sticking way too many sheets into too small of a binder.
- Covers – Some binders have a material covering that is more ideal for traveling, whereas other binders have a plain vinyl wrap or clear vinyl overlay depending on what is needed for your project.
- Color – Is this more conservative information you are giving to clients, or perhaps you want to be bold in color and make your presentation really pop? There are a variety of colors to choose from when it comes to binders.
- Size of sheets – Will you be using standard or larger sheets? Sheet size is important because paper that does not fit in a binder is like wearing a sack of potatoes that does nothing for your looks!
