What is a zipper binder?

A binder with a zipper is very similar to a traditional binder, with the biggest difference being it comes with a zipper to enclose any loose items or documents. Many students find a zipper binder on their back-to-school shopping list because it helps them keep track of their schoolwork and smaller school supplies like pens and pencils. It offers a convenient, all-in-one solution for both papers and stationery and generally has a handle on the side to carry like a suitcase.

What size zipper binder do I need?

Much like traditional binders, zipper binders come with a three-ring option to hold loose-leaf paper, sheet protectors, or dividers. They also come in a variety of sizes depending on users’ needs and offer the option of having a strap on the outside.

For instance, if a user doesn’t need a binder to hold a lot of loose-leaf paper, they can consider a 2-inch zipper binder. If there is more paper, they should size up to a 3-inch zipper binder. A 2-inch zipper binder can typically hold 200 sheets of letter-sized papers, whereas a 3-inch zipper binder can hold up to 300 sheets, as well as other items like storing disks and CDs.
