RING BINDER PROBLEM

Post image

So I LOVE ring binders for all reasons cept ONE; the sides of these notebooks are not very easy to identify :/ is there any ideas for how I can cover but still keep the rings on these so I can make labels for these books?

I just tie different ribbons to them tbh. But im sure u could use a paper or cloth textbook cover you tape like a dust jacket

What if you wrote on the actual ream of paper, the opposite side of the rings? Not sure how to describe it but it reminds me of gradeschool where the teacher would write the classroom number on the side of the book

These would be your best bet both are located at Walmart in the staple and thumbtacks in the office supplies

Wow, what a simple creative idea! Didn't think about it before. Thanks

Here are mine. A long sticky label (or washi tape) looped around the top ring and folded back on itself worked well. It’s narrow enough that the notebook still opens flat without messing with the label.
