loose leaf

Not permanently bound

Loose leaf describes paper sold as separate sheets rather than bound in a notebook or book: loose-leaf binder, loose-leaf paper.

The sheets typically have holes punched along one edge for insertion into ring binders, allowing pages to be added, removed, or rearranged.

Loose-leaf tea consists of whole or large tea leaves sold unbagged.
