High-quality File Prongs for ring binders and quotation folders
In the office supplies industry and professional print finishing, File Prongs (also known as binding strips) are the key component for binding punched documents securely and neatly. Our File Prongs are stamped in-house from premium-quality metal and are specifically designed for use in high-quality folders. In combination with a cover strip, they form a robust filing mechanism that keeps your documents in shape permanently.
Variants and finishes: Professional-quality metal File Prongs
To meet the diverse aesthetic and functional requirements of your products, we offer File Prongs in various surface finishes:
- Lacquered surfaces: Choose between timeless white lacquer, elegant gold lacquer or understated black lacquer. The lacquer protects the metal and ensures a harmonious overall appearance for your folders.
- Plastic coating: For particularly demanding applications and larger volumes of documents, we offer File Prongs with a white plastic coating. This variant is particularly sturdy and protects the paper during frequent page turning.
- Versatile applications: In addition to classic ring binders, our File Prongs are particularly popular for use in bank statement folders and customised presentation systems.
How it works: File Prongs and cover strips as a system
A filing mechanism consists of the File Prongs and the matching cover strip. The File Prongs are inserted through the punched holes in the folder, the punched documents are threaded through and then secured with the cover strip. This simple yet highly effective method ensures that even extensive dossiers or quotations are held firmly together and do not slip.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between File Prongs and binding strips?
There is no technical difference; both terms refer to the same product. Whilst ‘File Prongs’ is more commonly used in everyday language, ‘staple strip’ is often used as a technical term in the industrial manufacture of files and folders.
Which File Prongs are suitable for very thick folders?
For larger quantities of paper, we recommend our plastic-coated File Prongs. These offer greater rigidity and prevent the prong from bending too easily under the weight of the paper, which increases the stability of the entire folder.
Are the coloured finishes abrasion-resistant?
Yes, our lacquered File Prongs (gold, white, black) are finished using a special process. The surface is designed to withstand the mechanical stress caused by bending and folding the prongs during daily use.
