The report just came in. After 250,000 flexes of the Naked Binder it still does not fail. We won't lie, the outer layer of the hinge cracked. Not failed, not shredded, not ripped or broke...cracked. And only the outer layer - after a quarter million flexes. That binder is still a working binder - it just has a slight cosmetic feature now.
We tested a 2" bare board Naked Binder - 100% recycled, 100% post consumer waste. This binder has no extras, no cotton spine wrap to help increase its longevity, no vinyl, plastics, spinach or any other strength enhancing addatives to help this last longer. This 100% post consumer waste FSC certified board is the basis for all of the Naked Binder line.
What does a quarter of a million flexes mean to you?
20 uses a day for 34+ years
100 uses a day for almost 7 years.
What it really means is that unlike your vinyl binder, you won't be taping the spine together on a Naked Binder. A sustainable binder is one that lasts - Naked Binder is not a disposable product. It is a well crafted asset to your home, office, school, scrapbook or proposal.
Naked Binder - The Strongest Binder is the World!! It survives the dishwasher, 250,000 flexes! The naked binder team is now dreaming up new tests to see how much a really well made recycled, eco friendly binder can take.
