Cover strips and Plastic Cover Strips: The neat finish for your binding
In post-press processing and when creating high-quality presentation materials, the first impression is crucial. Our Plastic Cover Strips (also known as cover rails) form the final element of a professional binding. They are simply slid over the combination of File Prongs and Cover Strips, completely concealing the mechanical components. The result is a clean, aesthetic look that gives your documents a structured and high-quality appearance in any folder or binder.
Technical details and system compatibility
For over 100 years, moog & langenscheidt has been developing solutions that impress with their precision fit and durability. Our cover strips are technically tailored to our product range:
- Ultra-slim design: With a height of just approx. 2.5 mm, the strips do not add bulk to the folder and allow for space-saving archiving.
- Optimal dimensions: An external width of approx. 15 mm perfectly covers our standard cover strips (12 mm wide).
- Standard lengths: Available in 210 mm or 297 mm (DIN A4) to seamlessly cover the entire height of the stapled documents.
- Safety: The rail acts as a locking mechanism that prevents the File Prongs from accidentally bending open, thereby stabilising the load distribution.
Sustainability and industrial manufacturing
As a responsible manufacturer, we use environmentally friendly materials. Our Plastic Cover Strips are made from recyclable plastic, which can be returned to the recycling cycle after use. Thanks to our in-house production, in addition to the standard colours of black and white, we can also produce custom lengths and bespoke colours for your specific branding on request. You can rely on short lead times and a quality that meets the industry’s strict requirements.
