Your average binder will fall apart under moderate use and have to be taped together with in a few months. The cover falls off - which means the hinge has failed. The reason for this is that the strongest part of the binder - the board- does not continue through the hinge. This leaves a small amount of vinyl or a piece of cloth is holding your whole binder together. Oops.
The Naked Binder is made from one piece of board. We press the hinge directly into the 110pt binders board (100% post consumer waste). This leaves no weak spots on the binder (seen here on the bare board Naked Binder)
This translates to a kind of super binder status. We had an independent laboratory flex these binders 250,000 times with out fail. If you use this binder for 34 years, 20 times a day you still will not break the hinge.
The hinge on a Naked Binder will not fail in regular use. We Guarantee it.
Our binders are made from 100% post consumer waste paper board. Will they absorb water? Yes. Will they fall apart? No. How do we know? We are a curious people.
First we left them out in the rain. For 3 hours, then for two days. They dried out flat and worked fine. So we put them through a dishwasher. Still no problems and still in use. Lets face it, if your binder gets that wet, the papers inside are already ruined, but at least you can still use your binder when you re-print everything.

Naked Binder StoryThe Naked Binder was born over a glass of wine at a family holiday dinner. First, some background. Our family businesses started in 1868 and are involved today with book binding, archival products, presentation materials and binders. One of our companies, Corporate Image, was the first American company to offer a viable alternative to toxic vinyl binders. Our famous FlexHinge binders have a core of sturdy board made from 100% recycled fiber of which 97% is post-consumer waste. These binders are covered with printed and laminated paper .or with fabric.
