loose-leaf binding
The business of binding individual sheets of paper
in an exchangeable form, for leaves to be added,
removed, or relocated in the book. Loose-leaf
bindings are used wherever records of repeatedly
changing information must be kept. Instruction
manuals, catalogs, and accounting forms are often
loose-leaf bound. Loose-leaf binding includes the
construction of the covers (although not the
manufacture of the binding mechanism, which is, in
general, purchased from companies specializing in
its manufacture), the punching or drilling of the
paper, as well as the assembly of the various
parts. Loose-leaf binding, which is classed as
miscellaneous binding, is a part of STATIONERY BINDING .
