While digital copies of manuals and materials may be the standard for many businesses these days, they aren’t necessarily the gold standard. When it comes to consumers, business partners and employees, many people just prefer the convenience of good ol’ fashioned paper.
Of course, the key to any user material is to make it accessible and user friendly, from the inside out. And when it comes to the outside of your manual or guide, an entrapment binder offers a world of benefits.
What is an Entrapment Binder?
An entrapment binder is, in its basic construction, similar to any 3-Ring binder. What makes these binders different, however, is that entrapment binders have a customized cover, back, and spine that communicates your business needs.
Entrapment binders are made to order. During the manufacturing process, your entrapment sheets are printed on high quality digital press. These sheets are then permanently sealed into the binder panels under clear vinyl. These sheets cover the front, back, and spine of the binder. After manufacturing, the sheets cannot be removed. Unlike a clear view binder, where you slide your printed cover into a front clear pocket, entrapment binders are a tighter and more finished looking product.
Why Use an Entrapment Binder?
Entrapment binders make a great entry point for user material because they’re colorful and customized. Using a four-color process design on a vinyl binder, entrapment binders allow you to communicate your brand or product with photographs and multi-color design. The ability to imprint your design and colors on the binder make it eye-catching and easy to spot, while the vinyl base makes it durable and rigid for storage.
When Should You Use an Entrapment Binder?
These binders are perfect for:
- Distribution Manuals
- Employee Handbooks
- Teaching Guides
- Instruction Manuals
- Product Catalogs
What If You Need a Special Kind of Binder?
Because they’re made to order, you have a wide range of options to further customize your entrapment binder. You can decide if the inside of your binder should contain a round ring, D-ring or multi-ring. You can decide if you need inside half-pockets, CD holders or business cardholders on the inside panels. And you can customize the size (both ring size and paper size) of your binder to meet your content’s paper size and volume.
Sometimes a binder is more than just a binder: sometimes it can become a mark of a job well done, of a company on top of every detail, a lasting and easily recognizable resource for those in your business who you value most. When you need your manual or guide to look its best, there’s nothing better than an entrapment binder.
