Customised Ring Binders

Filed under: customised ring binders — Tags: , , — admin @ 9:29 am

Customised ring binders have many different flavours. They are available as basic polypropylene ring binders, presentation ring binders, PVC ring binders and paper over board ring binders. You can have ring binders with a maximum of six rings, or just four or even only two. The shape of the ring can also vary. They can be square or round, but most often they are D rings. The rings are usually nickel plated, but they can also be coloured, if preferred. The lever arch system is a more sophisticated type of ring binder and has a lot of flexibility in use. The A4 standard European format is the most common size for ring binders, and screen printing, hot foil blocking or full colour litho can be used to create fully customised ring binders of your choice.

The most common type of customised ring binders are those made from PVC. The versatility of this material is undoubtedly the reason for its popularity as it can be customised in so many different ways. The most common variation with PVC binders is to be found in the different finishes and textures used. This, combined with customised colours, can really set your ring binder apart. When you add fancy edge stitching, corner protectors, folders, wallets and pen loops, you can easily create the kind of customised ring binders that cause people to look twice.

If you need your customised ring binders to be environmentally friendly, then paper over board is most likely your best choice of material. While PVC is perhaps the easiest material to work with, paper over board offers a viable alternative. Printing on paper over board is where the real customisation options come into their own. Your choice of printing methods and techniques becomes almost limitless. A polyester film in gloss or matt can cover the end product, or it can be laminated and mounted on a hard board created from recycled materials.

Customised ring binders made from polypropylene also offer and environmentally option as they can be recycled when no longer in use. Polypropylene has hard-wearing and strong characteristics. They also offer a degree of heat resistance, and they are extremely versatile when it comes to customisation options. Polypropylene is particularly good as a material if you require embossing in your customised ring binders.

The personalisation options available when ordering ring binders are far too many to list. If you need your binders to be unique and stand out form the crowd, it’s actually easier than you might think. Their relative low cost and high branding capabilities, as well as their simple usefulness, make customised ring binders a winner every time.

Clipboards

Filed under: clipboards — Tags: — admin @ 8:54 am

Clipboards provide a very convenient method of holding a sheet of paper and facilitating an easy way for a person to write on it when on the move. We are all familiar with someone who is conducting a survey in a public place. They usually hold a clipboard and write your answers to their questions on to a sheet of paper held firmly by the prominent large clip at the top of the board. The clipboard is light and sturdy. It provides a convenient flat and firm surface to write on, and it holds the paper in place, even if the weather is breezy, which makes the clipboard ideal for anyone out and about who needs to write things down.

Clipboards can easily be personalised for any company’s needs. The most obvious way to personalise a clipboard is through printing. They can have litho printing, hot foil blocked printing or screen printed, and in addition, they can be padded or embossed. Your clipboard can also be made in a variety of different colours, and can have different textures and finishes. This means that the level of customisation available when ordering clipboards for a company is very comprehensive indeed.

Clipboards can provide a wonderful opportunity for marketing. When considering the printing options for your clipboards you can include much more than just a company name and logo with perhaps a company address and telephone number. Photographic images can be printed on to your clipboard and the choice will only be limited by your imagination. Your brand or message can have much more impact when it is incorporated into a well thought out colourful design that includes photo images.

The clips on your clipboard can vary too. You can have the traditional crocodile type of clip, or the larger and more powerful jumbo clip. The clip can be wide or narrow. The clip can be for a single or double page, and it can have various different appearances and styles as well. The clip on a clipboard is usually quite strong and requires a fair bit of pressure to open against the internal spring. However, this is necessary to hold the sheets of paper firmly and prevent them blowing away on a windy day if the clipboard is being used in an outside environment.

Clipboards have an air of authority about them. People who wield a clipboard are usually noting something important, or at least that is often a common assumption. They are a simple item designed to perform a simple task, yet clipboards offer considerable promotional and branding opportunities for businesses.

If they are quality, well made products then they will last even longer.

You could even add messages such as details of your latest offers along with a telephone number – you may be surprised by just how far your marketing message can travel.

Or you could choose to add something memorable such as a catchphrase or slogan that helps it to stand out further. If your clients have other contacts who might want to do business with you then they could use your branded presentation products to get in contact with you.

3. Create a Professional Image

Nothing creates a more professional image than a branded presentation folder or other presentation products. It immediately states that you are a business which cares about its image and this will help you to get taken more seriously and impress your clients and customers.

If you make sure your presentation products are of a high quality, well designed and good to hold and touch then these little touches can go a long way. You wouldn’t write a letter without headed paper, so why miss out on the opportunity to look even more professional with bespoke presentation products.

There are too many benefits of bespoke presentation products to miss out on for businesses of all sizes. Don’t allow yourself to miss out on the great opportunities to look more professional, distinguish yourself from the crowd and market your brand further through personalising your ring binders, presentation folders, A4 folders, clipboards and other presentation products.
