Casemade Binder Construction Options

There are 4 primary types of casemade binder construction:

3-Piece: Three pieces of board are glued onto fabric to form a binder.  This option is used when the binder to too large for our automated equipment or the binder will have canvas reinforcement.

 

Routed:  This binder is constructed with one long piece of board that has been grooved.  Routed hinge binders are very durable due to the fact that board is left in the hinge area.
    

 

Unitized:  This binder construction is usually used to make padded binders run on our automated equipment.  Three boards are bound together with a paper cover.  This type of board is costly and has a longer lead time.

European Hinge:  This binder is constructed with one solid board.  Our hinge machine compresses the binder with a 2-piece die.  No board is removed in this process, making this a very durable binder.
