The proper selection of a binder depends on the anticipation of all circumstances related to its intended use and service life expectancy.

The following questions and suggestions should help as a guide to determining the most effective material construction and material specifications.  These are all questions we take into consideration when helping you design a binder, or when designing one for you.  Our talented design team and sales staff are very experienced and will guide you through this process.  This section is here for reference purposes.

Use the links to go to a particular question (or group of questions) for further elaboration.
