ROUND RING-
The round ring is the most popular ring
hardware used. The metal can be mounted on the spine or the
back cover. With capacities of 2-1/2" or larger, a D ring
tends to allow the sheets & tabs align flush right better.
Hardware is available in nickel and can be economically sprayed
in a variety of colors. The levers on both sides of the hardware
are called boosters. These allow for the easy opening &
closing and most hardware is available without them if requested.
MEASURING RING CAPACITIES-
The capacity of a round ring metal is
the inside diameter of the arches. While the trade refers
to the capacities as 1inch, 1-1/2 inch, etc., the inside measurements
are equal or greater up to an 1/8" than the capacity. For
best results, contents should measure approximately 1/4" less
than the ring capacity. We recommend
making a bulking dummy of the contents prior to the final
determination of the ring capacity.
ADDITIONAL INSERTS-
When indexes, vinyl slide sheets or
sheet lifters are included in the binder, please allow for
additional space. A good allowance to use is 1 tab equals
4 leaves and 1 slide sheet equals 20 leaves. 2 curved lifters
commonly used with large round ring capacities take 1/4" of
the available space.
HOLE PUNCHING-
For an 8 1/2"X 11" sheet, the center
of the hole is usually 1/4" to 5/16" from the left edge.
The spacing is 4 1/4"CC and the hole diameter ranges from
1/4" to 9/32" depending on the ring capacity.

STRAIGHT D RING-
The D ring was developed as an alternative
to the round ring as some feel that the insert page sit flush
right better. This is especially important for larger capacities
and where many tabs will be used. The metal is always mounted
the back cover. Hardware is available in nickel and can be
economically sprayed in a variety of colors. The levers on
both sides of the hardware are called boosters. These allow
of the easy opening & closing and most hardware is available
without them if requested.
MEASURING RING CAPACITIES-
The capacity of a D ring metal is measured
by the length of the straight part of the hardware. While
the trade refers to the capacities as 1inch, 1-1/2 inch, etc.,
the inside measurements are equal or greater up to an 1/8"
than the capacity. For best results, contents should measure
approximately 1/4" less than the ring capacity.
We recommend making a bulking dummy
of the contents prior to the final determination of the ring
capacity.
ADDITIONAL INSERTS-
When indexes, vinyl slide sheets or
sheet lifters are included in the binder, please allow for
additional space. A good allowance to use is 1 tab equals
4 leaves and 1 slide sheet equals 20 leaves. 1 flat lifter
is commonly used with larger capacities which does not significantly
impact the available space.
HOLE PUNCHING-
For an 8 1/2"X 11" sheet, the center
of the hole is usually 1/4" to 5/16" from the left edge.
The spacing is 4 1/4"CC and the hole diameter ranges from
1/4" to 9/32" depending on the ring capacity.

SLANT D RING-
The slant D ring was developed as an
alternative to the Straight D ring as some feel that the angle
of the ring allows the insert pages to lay in a natural stepped
fashion making it easier to view all of the contents. This
is especially important for larger capacities and where many
tabs will be used. The covers and the spine are usually made
larger for slant D ring constructions and the metal is always
mounted the back cover. hardware is available in nickel and
can be economically sprayed in a variety of colors. The levers
on both sides of the hardware are called boosters. These allow
for the easy opening & closing and most hardware is available
without them if requested.
MEASURING RING CAPACITIES-
The capacity of a slant D ring metal
is measured by the length of the straight part of the hardware.
While the trade refers to the capacities as 1inch, 1-1/2 inch,
etc., the inside measurements are equal or greater up to an
1/8" than the capacity. For best results, contents should
measure approximately 1/4" less than the ring capacity. We
