Customize Your Re-Pulpable, Recyclable Binder
- Printing: Your logo and design can be screen printed with up to 4 colors directly to the card stock or hinge cover. Foil stamping, debossing, and digital printing render this product less recyclable and are not offered on this product.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are kraft binders made of?
Dense recycled kraft paperboard with a natural, uncoated surface — the recycled material is the aesthetic.
Are kraft binders really recyclable?
Yes — remove the ring metal and the whole binder goes in paper recycling. No vinyl, no lamination, no mixed materials.
How do you print on kraft?
One- or two-color screen printing looks striking on the brown kraft surface, and blind debossing gives an understated, tactile brand mark.
How durable is kraft compared to vinyl?
Kraft board is rigid and holds up well in normal office use, but it shows wear faster than sealed vinyl and shouldn't get wet. It trades some durability for genuine sustainability.
Who typically orders kraft binders?
Brands with sustainability commitments — natural products, outdoor, food and beverage, agencies — anywhere the recycled look reinforces the message.
