What are my options for Plastic Poly Binding Covers?

Sometimes there are so many different options in binding covers that it can be difficult to know what cover might be best for you. Many users prefer plastic binding covers over paper covers because poly is waterproof, impossible to tear, heat resistant, stain resistant and incredibly durable. This article is designed to help you understand the different options available in poly binding covers, their thicknesses, patterns and available colors.
