Top-Opening PressGuard Report Cover

The Smead 81178 is a top-opening report cover designed to bind and protect presentations, manuscripts and proposals. Its heavy-duty 20 point PressGuard stock with an embossed leather-grain finish resists moisture and stains. A Tyvek hinge and twin-prong fastener compress documents tightly without damage. The cover suits offices and students needing loose-leaf style binding in an 11 x 17 format.

Upgrade from basic folders or ring binders

This cover replaces simple folders or ring binders when a professional, compressed finish is required for loose-leaf documents. The fastener compressor holds pages securely while reducing bulk compared with standard binders. The jump is worth it for reports that must stay flat, resist moisture and present a colour-coded, leather-grain appearance without punched holes damaging the hinge.

Check document size and fastener spacing

Verify that your documents match the 11 x 17 inch dimensions before ordering. The twin-prong fastener uses an 8 1/2 inch center-to-center hole spacing, so pre-punched pages must align with this measurement. Ensure the top-loading orientation suits your filing system and that the black colour fits your coding scheme.

Questions about this item

Will the 11 x 17 inch cover fit my 11 x 17 inch paper without trimming?

Yes, the cover is sized for 11 x 17 inch documents and uses a two-piece design that compresses the material tightly to reduce bulk.

How do I install the twin-prong fastener and compressor without damaging the report?

Align the punched holes with the prongs, insert the papers, fold the compressor over the prongs, and press down to lock it securely without tearing the document or bending the hinge.

Does the Tyvek hinge or 20 point PressGuard stock need replacement after heavy use?

The Tyvek hinge and coated 20 point PressGuard stock are designed for durability; the cover resists moisture and stains, so no regular replacement of the hinge or stock is required.
