Remember when you were an undergrad, and all the visiting writers read out of those cool black blue notebooks that looked like hardback books? We’ve located a supplier and are now offering them for sale in 2 sizes. PLEASE NOTE: These binders are sized for US Letter paper size. That’s 8 inches wide by 11.5 inches tall (215.9mm by 279.4mm). This means that A4 paper will NOT fit comfortably, as it is 210mm wide by 297mm tall.

Small binder clip
This is its baby brother, the bulldog clip that is so popular now.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide the secret decoder ring or instructions for the secret writers’ handshake. But these springback binders are the next best thing! One of our buyers says: “I just put my in-progress chapbook manuscript in the binder and it is so great to have it all in one place with the feel of a book. :)

The entire spine of this springback binder is a steel spring clip (the big brother of those “bulldog” binder clips everyone uses nowadays for papers.) You could think of it as a high tension spine clamp. The boards and spine are covered with blackblue leatherette, good for years of use.

To insert pages into a springback binder, you bend back the covers until they almost touch and the high tension spine clamp opens. The binder comes with a black tagboard folder to hold your pages. You just insert the folder with the pages (or the pages alone) and return the cover to the “closed” position.

These springback binders are ideal for use as manuscript binders, thesis binders, screenplay binders, presentation binder, legal brief binders, and so much more.

These are also used as thesis binders, script binders and even stamp albums. Great for lawyers, too, for trial papers, estate plans, etc.! Our springback binders are seen on sets like “Dumb and Dumberer”, “Community”, Legendary Pictures and in the hands of actors and writers everywhere.

I love these and they are really high quality. I have both the smaller and bigger sizes in black. I work on film sets and it makes things so much easier than having to punch holes in things. There are other similar binders but these are the high quality ones. It is very professional looking for anyone who normally uses a regular binder you will fall in love with them. – A satisfied customer from the film industry
