Small things makes big difference. You hardly notice a pen in your hand. a Notebook. A Binder. The small is changing our lives and we do not even notice. What would I use 50 years ago? 100? Quite often we do not see the small things busy with ongoing life.
and Here it is…
Ringless Binder is one of this things. More legend than real product, since many users dissatisfied with Sticking out rings and discs looked for alternative. The obvious one was a “Ring-less Binder” And after 180 years of Ring binder dominance here it is. The small , tiny, slim and unobtrusive RING-LESS.
Among many Ring Binder alternatives, there is one you probably do not know about: Ringless Binder. Searching for the beast, you are going to encounter a bunch of pretenders in a few shapes, like, for example, boxes posing as binders, clamps in every style and shape, trying your patience and fingers. So-called Data Binders, consisting of covers embellished with metal rails and armed with steel wires to clamp and keep. And a few others. Some, like, for example, strip binders, reside only in the EU. Some are in Japan and elsewhere.
The Ringless binder was born in Chicago, like the known to adepts, Chicago Screws, and is vying for our attention. It is a mind-boggling contraption consisting of simply a sheet of material with some cuts in both covers, forming two sets of flexible ties. No sign of metal clamps, prongs, or rings. You use it, you bind the sheet of paper, and then you forget about its existence. It is unobtrusive, thin like a piece of tear-resistant paper, and flexible. And it works, keeping in its basic version up to 350 pages, or 800 in its spineless version. No pretenses, just work.
Is it popular among its peers? As a newcomer sporting a thin, muscular silhouette, he is not welcomed among the heavyweights, fatso’s dominating the market. After investing 133 years of his life, The 3 Ring Binder certainly is not happy.

Ringless Binder is looking for work. It may be a perfect match for you.
This is not the end of the story, The family is growing. Let me introduce two new members of the family.
Below new Spineless binder. This time adds more possibilities, two ways to bind your pages. Is more capable and earth friendly comparing with data binders sporting steel cables, nylon posts and metal rails to keep the same amount of pages.
A ring binder has no place among notebooks. My notebook is quite unusual.
It is not a notebook per se.
It is a binder, but without the rings.
The designer replaced rings with ties.
In addition, since the ties are flat and really unobtrusive, he managed to add a second set of ties to the front page. With this unique arrangement, I can divide the paperwork into sections.

Since there are no rings, the designer calls it a “Ringless Binder.”
One of the ringless binder fans. Mrs. Page likes it so much that she dedicated a song. She doesn’t care about Tablets, since, as she says:
No Tablet shall last as long as Papyrus or Leonardo’s drawing done on paper.
Paper shall outlast anything. No fumbling with switches, no battery or software problems.
No energy expended.
No difficulties with eyesight after prolonged use.
You may think I am talking about a ghost since no product is available to fit this description. But you may be wrong.
There is one using ties instead of rings.
Recently I read an article hailing the advantages of 2 rings binders over three rings binders. According to the author, with two rings is easier to flip through the pages. The author also extensively discusses the benefits of the ” light-touch lever-arch mechanism with an easy-grip rubber handle.” There is also “A unique ball-and-socket ring closure” and “locking bar mechanism” The description is long and complicated enough to fall asleep before you finish the sentence.
You may skip all this boredom and go straight to the no doubt more sexy “NO RING BINDER.“
It is SIMPLE. Cover with a couple of ties cut into it.
IT IS EASY TO FLIP THROUGH THE PAGES like a notebook since it has no sticking-out rings.
As an additional benefit, I should mention that the basic version of the NO RING or RINGLESS Binder comes with two sets of ties, each assigned to the left edge of the respective cover. It is possible because the FLAT ties don’t stick out of the cover plane, even one millimeter/fraction of an inch. So, You may divide your paperwork. For example, Your calendar/organizer on the left and your notes on the right.

It is a unique solution, Notebook, and Binder in ONE.
If you are in doubt, check the video below.
The Binder shown in this video is a “Single Spine” (single set of ties) capable of handling up to 150 pages.
Two spines (two sets of ties) Binder’s main purpose is to handle up to 350 pages of your paperwork. And then there is the Spineless version, capable of handling from 1-800 pages. One sizes takes all without the ring binder headache forcing you to choose one of the several sizes (1/2″,1″,1.5″, etc.)
O, I almost forget to mention two more versions coming out:
1) Ringless Binder with two additional ties to allow binding of two holes punched paper
2) Spineless Binder attempting to do the same adding two hole top punched pages to the three.
The two holes top punched pages are Eco friendly alternative to known Data Binders sporting nylon post, steel cables and metal rails. Spineless Binder can do the same at much lower cost due to its simpler Eco friendly setup.
