Metalbind binding system

METALBIND - the idea of binding

Covers and inserts are held by a metal channel. The back wall of the channel is tilted to hold the covers and pages of documentation. The channel is finished with an elegant veneer or coat of varnish. The special shape of the channel ensures perfect documentation appearance. Documentation insert is not damaged. The front wall never deforms.

METALBIND System

Extra stoppers

Special stoppers makes centering of the documents together with the covers very easy, also prevent the documentation pages from moving along the channel.
