How are Ring Binders Measured?

Mybinding.com presents How Ring Binders are Measured. These binders are all labeled different sizes from 5/8 of an inch to 5 inches. But what does measurement actually mean? Well, they are not all the same but they are referring to the ring sizes. For round rings, the measurement is the diameter of the inside of the rings. For slant or D rings, it is the length of the straight edge. Then 5 inch binders come in and ruin everything they’re measured from cover to cover and not by the ring sizes. Imagine it being more like how big of a stack of pages you can fit in your binder and not a measurement of the thickness of the binder itself. If you are curious, here are some approximate cover widths for the corresponding ring sizes. You can see that a 5/8 inch ring binder is actually slightly over an inch thick, and a two-inch binder can be almost 3 inches thick.
