ring binding

Loops through punched holes

Ring binding is a method of fastening loose pages using metal or plastic rings that pass through punched holes along one edge.

The rings open to add or remove pages, making it popular for notebooks, manuals, and reports that need updating: a ring-bound cookbook that lies flat on the counter.

Common forms include spiral binding and three-ring binders.
