Problem:
Ring Binder metal rings prevent the user’s hands from reaching the opposite page and sticking out the Spine empty or full, always taking the same scarce storage space. The rugged, brick-like covers only add to the pain. The old solution is hard to replace but still uncomfortable to handle.
Because of that, many people avoid it, and users are looking for a binder without the metal ring mechanism. The available solutions, like “Clamp” or “prong folder,” are usually limited to a maximum of 200 pages and do not fully replace the utility of the ring binder.
Partially filled Ringless binder vs Empty Ring-binder.
Solution:
We developed a simpler solution to avoid the limitations and preserve the good side of the venerable Ring-binder. The metal mechanism is eliminated, and the overall dimensions are reduced to the paper sheet’s extent.
- A4 Ringless binder solution presentation video is below.
Flat ties allow the incorporation of a second set of ties, doubling the binder capacity up to 350 pages in this particular setup.
2) A4 Spineless Ringless Binder.
There is no waste of storage space, and this single binder replaces the whole range of Ring Binders from 1/2″ to 4″(800pages) or more if the long enough ties are used.
All products shown here are made from a sheet of reinforced Paper. When in use, they remain flat. (See Video below)
We used the characteristics of the material, designing an arrangement of ties able to have a load of Paper without the ring mechanism. Instead of rings, we use flexible Ties. All products are made from Paper and are Eco friendly. eliminating 80% weight of material used for comparable ring binders. No metal parts at all.
For now, we offer four arrangements:
(Please see the Images on the left)
- V-ringless with a set of 3 ties (for three holes punched Paper) to bind up to 150 pages.
- Multi-binder – Double capacity. V-binder with double sets of ties. Holds from 1-350 sheets (equivalent to a 2″thick ring binder). The Spine has one Tie Set, and the second is by the left interior edge of the Front Cover when it is open. Good for two subjects, copybooks, etc
-
Universal In addition to the double sets of ties, we added ties matching the spacing of two holes punched leaflets used with prong fasteners.
- Spine-less (from 1-800 sheets) consisting of two covers and connecting ties can hold up to 800 pages. We removed the Spine because the dimensions of the Spine limit the number of pages.
- Now instead of choosing between 6 different sizes commonly offered in Ring Binders, you may use a single one to accommodate any number of sheets. There is NO sticking-out SPINE. Full or empty external dimensions are always as thick as the number of pages they contain. Binder is always FLAT.

Spineless one size replaces all sizes of the 3-ring binder.
Ring binder comes in dimensions: ½-inch=75 pages, 1″ =175 pages, 1.5″=250 pages, 2″=350 pages, 3″=570 pages, 4″ = 800 pages (D ring)
There is no need to look for “1 inch 3 ring binders”, “1.5 inches 3 ring binders,” or a clamp binder.
