    Custom paper turned edge binder FAQs: common question and answers

    What is a paper turned edge binder?

    A paper turned edge binder (also referred to as “paper casemade binders”) is similar in construction and durability to hardbound book covers, but made from high-quality paper compared to linen, vinyl and other cover materials. They can be custom designed with full-color images, rich textures and sharp graphics, then upgraded using special techniques such as metallic foil stamping and embossing/debossing.

    Paper turned edge binders are often preferred over traditional binders for presentations, proposals, non-profit materials, schools, and government agencies, and any other situation where you would like to show your support for “going green”!

    Why is it called a “turned edge” binder?

    The term “turned edge” refers to how the binder is constructed. Similar to traditional hardbound bookbinding, a turned edge binder is created by wrapping and gluing a cover material (often printed or laminated) around a sturdy and rigid paperboard or chipboard. The edges of the cover material bend around the paperboard and are glued down on the inside cover of the binder, creating a smooth edge. This overlapping is where the name “turned edge” comes from.

    What are the different types of turned edge binders?

    Here at Binders Inc., a premier North Carolina binder manufacturer, we can customize your paper-covered casemade binders any way you want! For this reason, our paper turned edge binders come in many different shapes, sizes and types.
