Abstract
A cost effective binder provides high visual impact by employing a binder cover material which is transparent, and which has imprinted thereon a frame, and which is also provided with a pocket formed of thin plastic material on the inside of the cover. Visual material may be slid into this pocket and may be visible through the front cover of the binder, and is set off and emphasized by the frame formed by the coating.
