MyBinding Adhesive Pockets for Ring Binders

It matters more than it might seem. Top-loading pockets open at the top, which works fine for items you rarely remove, but gravity can occasionally loosen contents if the pocket is mounted vertically. Side-loading pockets open along the long edge, which generally keeps items more securely in place when mounted on a wall or door since the opening faces sideways rather than downward. For frequently accessed items like rotating instruction cards, side-loading tends to be the more practical choice.

Measure the actual item you're inserting, not the space where the pocket will be mounted, and add a small margin so the item slides in and out without resistance. Pocket thickness, listed in gauge for vinyl options, also affects overall fit, since an 8 gauge pocket sits noticeably thicker than a 6 gauge one. Checking your item against the ring binders it will ultimately live in can also help confirm the mounted pocket won't interfere with the rings or spine.

Yes, these are shaped and sized specifically around the item they hold rather than being general-purpose rectangles. A CD holder pocket is cut to the disc's circular profile with enough clearance for easy insertion and removal, while a floppy disk holder matches that now-vintage format's exact dimensions. Using a standard rectangular pocket for either of these items can leave excess loose space that lets the item shift or fall out.

This depends on the surface and how long the pocket has been in place. These are designed with permanent adhesive for a firm, lasting hold rather than a removable or repositionable bond, so peeling one off after extended wear can risk residue or minor surface marking on delicate materials. For a lower-profile labeling option instead of a full pocket, the label holders for ring binders provide a similar identification function with a smaller footprint and no adhesive removal risk.
