Top-Opening PressGuard Report Cover

The Smead 81778 is a top-opening report cover built for students and professionals who need to bind presentations, manuscripts or proposals without a ring binder. Heavy-duty 20 point PressGuard stock with an embossed leather-grain finish resists moisture and stains. A Tyvek hinge and metal twin-prong fastener compress pages tightly while protecting documents from damage.

11 x 17 inch format and prong limits

The cover accepts loose-leaf sheets measuring 11 by 17 inches with holes spaced 8 1/2 inches centre-to-centre. The two-piece design compresses material to reduce bulk, yet the fixed prong spacing means it cannot bind pages punched to a different hole pattern. Users must match the specified hole centres or the fastener will not engage.

Capacity for substantial reports

The compressor holds a thick stack of pages securely, making it suitable for multi-chapter reports, large proposals or manuscript submissions. Once the fastener reaches its maximum compression, additional sheets cannot be added without removing content. The cover is not designed for expandable storage or ring-binder flexibility.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 11 x 17 size or another format for my project?

The 11 x 17 cover fits ledger-size pages and compresses them tightly with the two-piece design, so pick this model when your documents match that sheet dimension.

How does the 20 point stock perform when the binder is full?

The heavy-duty 20 point PressGuard stock resists moisture and stains while the Tyvek hinge and fastener compressor keep the report secure without damaging pages.

What does the 8 1/2" centre-to-centre fastener spacing mean for my punched paper?

The twin-prong fastener is set at 8 1/2" centre-to-centre, so it matches standard loose-leaf punching for 11 x 17 sheets and holds them firmly in place.
