Patented folding-box system · Available for licensing

THE KING of loose-leaf paper …has a geometry problem.

The ring binder remains the tool of choice for loose-leaf paper.
Yet, because its sides are not parallel, it is quietly loathed by users.

Wingbinder - a new geometry

This new product uses our outward-folding magnetic BOX, which opens and closes in seconds:

Product concept

This innovative hybrid product is part storage box and part ring binder.
It is the “best of both” because:

• As a BOX: it contains loose stuff and handles like a rigid box.
• AND
• As a BINDER: it opens completely flat for writing in it and full ring-binder use.

Numerous benefits
