An information holding article including an inner part and an outer part, where the inner part includes a number of pages adapted for holding printed information, where the outer part includes a plastic cover with a first and a second side element and a back element provided between the first and the second side element and being adapted for mutual pivotal movement between the back element and the first and/or the second side element. The inner part is connected to the plastic cover at one of the first side element, the second side element or the back element, where the two side elements are spaced apart when the inner part is connected to the plastic cover and where the inner part is adapted to fit a certain width of the back element by including a thickness correcting element to the inner part.

A binder including a front cover including a front cover exterior layer, a front cover interior layer, a front cover base plate between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover interior layer, an exterior pocket formed between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover base plate, and an interior opening formed through the front cover interior layer and the front cover base plate to the exterior pocket. Methods of manufacturing the binder are also disclosed.

A binder comprising: (a) a front cover; (b) a rear cover; (c) a spine extending between and connecting the front cover and the rear cover, the spine being made of a different material than the front cover and the rear cover; and (d) a binder mechanism; wherein the spine is a reinforced polymer that is sufficiently flexible to allow the front cover, the rear cover, or both to move relative to the spine so that the front cover, the rear cover, or both are openable and closeable.

A binder including a front cover including a front cover exterior layer, a front cover interior layer, a front cover base plate between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover interior layer, an exterior pocket formed between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover base plate, and an interior opening formed through the front cover interior layer and the front cover base plate to the exterior pocket. Methods of manufacturing the binder are also disclosed.

A binder including a front cover including a front cover exterior layer, a front cover interior layer, a front cover base plate between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover interior layer, an exterior pocket formed between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover base plate, and an interior opening formed through the front cover interior layer and the front cover base plate to the exterior pocket. Methods of manufacturing the binder are also disclosed.

A binder including a front cover including a front cover exterior layer, a front cover interior layer, a front cover base plate between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover interior layer, an exterior pocket formed between the front cover exterior layer and the front cover base plate, and an interior opening formed through the front cover interior layer and the front cover base plate to the exterior pocket. Methods of manufacturing the binder are also disclosed.

The invention relates to a cover for disc-bound, fold-over binding systems, comprising a series of parallel T-shaped slits, characterized by the fact that the cover consist of a one-piece sandwich panel containing two rigid outer layers which are permanently attached to a flexible core layer, wherein the sandwich panel is provided with an area which runs parallel to the edge of the cover wherein between 0.1% and 100% of the outer layers of the sandwich panel is removed.

A film for binders and a method for creating such a film are described. The film has a base film and a top film. A flood coating of colored ink is positioned between the base film and top film wherein the colored ink is protected from external forces to the binder. A sublayer of the base film has at least some opacity to prevent the paper board from being seen by an outside viewer.

Described herein are examples of notebooks with removable components, comprising a front cover, a back cover, binding, and internal pages. The front cover and back cover are prepared from rigid or semi-rigid materials. The front cover comprises personalization space, and the front cover or back cover comprises a removable component. The removable component is separated from the front cover or back cover by an exterior edge and connected to the back cover by tabs. The exterior edge and tabs form a continuous perimeter around the removable component. The tabs are configured to be broken using average human finger strength allowing the removable component to be fully separated from the back cover.

A modular notebook system includes a binder having multiple parallel docking channels, each with a removable spine rod and a binder-side magnetic element, and one or more notebook modules each with a housing, a spring-biased clamping mechanism that secures unpunched sheets, and a retractable kickstand. Module-side magnetic elements cooperate with binder-side elements and a rod-guided docking interface to provide tool-free, self-aligning attachment with stable retention and precise positioning. Optional cushioning liners protect module spines during insertion and removal. Modules can be removed for standalone use, re-docked for centralized storage, and configured to support landscape or portrait orientations at multiple tilt angles. The system accommodates common paper sizes and may include rear flaps for retaining mobile devices. The architecture enables rapid reconfiguration, scalable storage, and hybrid analog-digital workflows for academic, professional, creative, and field environments.
