How to Insert into Binder Spine Insert Template
Three different steps to insert the binder templates in your file. Know these steps and follow them to insert at ease.
Step 1
Once your label is ready you can print and cut them. Make sure you print them on a sturdy paper so that inserting will happen without causing damage to the label. At the same time make sure your printer can handle the thickness. Alternatively, print on a paper and paste another empty paper behind to give that sturdy yet not the hard label.
Now, cut the labels without losing any wordings and it is ready to be inserted. You can also add some design manually after printing and cutting. Even this step can be skipped if you can print them with designs online.
Step 2
Open the binder and turn it inside out. So now you can insert the label from inside. You must place it vertically and then insert the label.
Depending on the rigidity of the file turn it as it may break when you force and turn it inside out.
Add your own subtopics
With the help of a thin plastic ruler slightly create a space between the binder and the plastic to make it possible to slide the label inside. Do not send the scale deep inside as it may cause damage to the plastic.
Step 3
In case there is a label present already inside and you want to remove and replace with a new one, then follow this step. Reverse the binder and check if the label falls down on its own. This will happen if the label is loosely placed or there is free space in the plastic. Alternatively, use a scale to create some air space and now check if the label falls. Finally, you can use your fingers to pull them after creating space with scale. Caution advised here to prevent tearing of the plastic.
At the same time of removal, you can insert the new spine label if ready. This can prevent another attempt and hence improve the life of the plastic and the binder sides.
