Why we bother with Binders? Regardless of the digitizing effort, we see around, paper documents are irreplaceable. No iPad will last for decades. We went already through the CD-era, and most of the discs you still store are inaccessible. Same with hard drives. People recognize the drawbacks of new technologies.
Let’s compare: Ring Binder. Heap of vinyl combined with a complicated metal mechanism vs. Ringless Binder, a sheet of paper with a simple arrangement of flexible ties.
In the below illustration, the Ring Binder is empty but still takes more space than full ringless binders using adjustable ties instead of rings. Who needs the Rings?

Ring Binder | Ringless Binder |
Misaligned Rings | Ties replace rings |
Rings are always in the way of the hand trying to reach the opposite page, | Hard to notice Ties. Ties are flexible and low profile. |
No way to flip through the pages quickly, | A breeze to Flip through the pages |
Hard to store. Empty or full, Big Spine takes the same space. | Never exceeds the thickness of the bonded documents more than the thickness of the paper it is made from. |
Brick-like handling comfort | Flexible |
Hard inflexible covers | Cut from a sheet of paper. |
You must specify the thickness and choose one from several sizes. | A basic Bind-book takes up to 350 pages, or you use a Spineless bind book to bind any amount of pages from 0 to 800. |
In the Bindbook, You may divide your paperwork into separate sections. | |
Replacing the vinyl cover with a craft paper finish doesn’t make the product eco-friendly. | Eco-friendly. Requires only 20% of the weight of material needed to produce a comparable ring binder. |

Can you imagine a simpler binder? A plain sheet of paper with few invisible cuts. Cut imaginatively. No rings. No complicated metal mechanism, and it binds hole-punched documents anyway. Of course, we do not show detail in this illustration for obvious reasons.
