Ring-bound manuals (ring binders, ring bound books)
Durable and versatile: excellent for modular delivery and learning
Highly-durable and very versatile, ring bound manuals and workbooks (with or without tabs) are an excellent choice for course material that is taught in modules or if you wish to provide a robust location to store special items such as ID cards, CDs and DVDs. Tabbed dividers can be added for easy navigation, and the same binder can be used repeatedly over several course events.
Ring bound book printing can look very professional when the covers and spines are well designed and correctly sized to fit the clear pockets.
Tabbed dividers: We can print tabbed dividers on the face AND on the visible reinforced tab with text and/or graphics of your choice. Numbered or alphabetical tabs are also available. Please ask for details.
A ring-bound manual is a prominent item on a desk or a bookshelf and will stand out more after the event, helping to boost your brand.
Please let us know if you would like to receive a bound hard-copy proof of your manual before the final print run.
