Abstract
A folded report cover is provided with a lock strip extending along at least one side of the cover parallel and contiguous to the fold and outwardly of the plane of the side. A channel-shaped gripping member is engaged to the cover along the fold and locked in place by a stop which extends from the interior of one leg of the gripping member into resilient engagement with a longitudinal edge of the lock strip and the one side of the cover. The other leg of the gripping member engages the opposite side of the cover. The lock strip is preferably an integral portion of the material of the cover.
