Screwpost PortfoliosScrewpost portfolios are just like binders except that, instead of rings, the pages are held in place by screws and posts. The screwpost system allows the book to have a thin profile and to be adjustable in capacity according to the number pages bound in the book. Additionally, screwpost portfolios have a distinctive, artistic look that can add sophistication to any presentation.A lot of documents these days are presented not in folders or binders but in screwpost portfolios. They aren’t appropriate for every application, but there are some very good reasons why they can be the right choice. Here are the principal pros and cons of using a screwpost portfolio: ProsMany Formats Available. If your documents are in a format other than the standard binder formats (like 11x8.5 or 11x17), screwpost portfolios, which come in 12 standard formats, might be the only way to bind them into a book.Flexible Capacity. The screwpost binding system allows for unlimited scalability in thickness. To increase the capacity of a screwpost portfolio, just add screwpost extensions. Slim Profile. For presentations with a small number of pages a screwpost portfolio will give you the thinnest possible presentation, starting at just ¾” of an inch. Style. A screwpost portfolio looks more distinctive than any folder or binder. Difficult to Switch Pages. Because it’s a bit trickier to add or subtract pages with a screwpost portfolio than with a binder, you won’t have problems with users modifying your presentation (especially helpful in the hospitality industry). ConsDifficult to Switch Pages. Because it’s a bit trickier to add or subtract pages with a screwpost portfolio than with a binder, it takes a bit more time to change the contents of the book.Limited Capacity. We do not recommend using a screwpost portfolio for more than 40 sheets of paper. Above that and it becomes hard to turn the pages and view the center of spreads. Cost. Screwpost portfolios can cost more than folders or binders. Understanding FormatsScrewpost portfolio formats are specified in the title of the product and refer to the size of sheet the portfolio is designed for. Thus the Machina 19x13 Presentation Book is designed to hold sheets that are 19x13 inches in size, while the cover itself measures .75 x 14.5 x 19.75 inches. Additionally, the first number in the title designates the binding edge for the screwpost portfolio. Thus in the example above the binding is on the 19 inch edge, making for a portrait oriented display. With the Machina 11x17 Landscape Presentation Book the sheets are bound on the 11 inch side in a landscape oriented display.Binding OptionsAnother key difference between 3-ring binders and screwpost portfolios is that screwpost portfolios are designed to hold sheet protectors, inkjet sheets or adhesive hinge strips while you can simply use a hole punch to bind your work into a 3-ring binder. The 3 main insert options for screwpost portfolios are as follows:1) Sheet Protectors: There are two types of sheet protectors made for use with screwpost portfolios. One is pocket style, meaning it is sealed on 3 sides, and your documents slip in from the top and are securely held in place. The other type is top and bottom-loading. Sheet protectors prevent viewers from touching your work which can be important in some applications. This is the most popular way to bind work into a screwpost portfolio. 2) Inkjet Sheets: Instead of slipping your documents into a sheet protector which is bound into the cover, you can simply print your work on a scored, drilled inkjet sheet and bind that directly into the book. The big advantages here are that you don’t have the cost of the sheet protectors and you don’t have to look through the glare of plastic to see the documents. 3) Adhesive Hinge Strips: As an alternative to sheet protectors or inkjet sheets, you can bind your work into a screwpost portfolio using adhesive hinge strips. Simply peel off the adhesive backer and affix the strips directly to the binding edges of your work. The adhesive hinge strips are punched to fit standard format binders and screwpost portfolios. |
