How are binders measured?\u00a0<\/strong>That is one of the most common questions we get from customers at OnTimeSupplies.com. What they really want to know is how big a binder they need for their projects. So Office Ink is here to clear up the mystery of 3-ring binder sizing.<\/p>\n

Let’s clear up one thing first: \u00a03-Ring\u00a0Binders are measured by the ring diameter<\/strong>. So this 1″ Avery View Binder<\/a>\u00a0 has 1″ binder rings, this Universal 4″ D-Ring Binder<\/a> has 4″ rings, and so on.<\/p>\n
