Cardinal Slant-D Ring 11in x 17in Tabloid ClearVue Binder - 3in Rings

In this review the Cardinal Slant-D Ring 11in x 17in Tabloid ClearVue binder is evaluated for people who need a roomy, customizable binder for large-format documents. The bottom line: it is best for users storing spreadsheets, schematics or construction drawings because the slant-D rings increase sheet capacity and the ClearVue overlay makes it easy to identify contents at a glance. The reviewer found it to be a practical, sustainable option with a clear overlay for front, back and spine customization and a sturdy cover board made from recycled fiber.

Key Features

• Tabloid capacity: Stores 11in x 17in documents so spreadsheets and large drawings lie flat and stay organized.
• Slant-D rings: The D-shaped rings hold about 25% more material than standard round rings, which helps when storing thick sets of pages.
• ClearVue overlay: A clear front, back and spine cover allows quick customization and visible labeling without altering the binder.
• Recycled cover board: The cover board is made from 100% recycled fiber with a high post-consumer content, reducing waste compared with nonrecycled binders.
• Large ring capacity: Three-inch rings provide ample storage for long projects, manuals or collections of schematics.

Who It's For

The Cardinal tabloid ClearVue binder is ideal for architects, engineers, hobbyists and anyone who regularly works with schematics or wide-format spreadsheets and needs a reliable way to store 11in x 17in pages. The extra ring capacity and slant-D shape make it particularly useful when a single binder must hold several dozen to several hundred sheets.

It may be less suited to people who only occasionally handle large pages and prefer a lighter, more flexible folder; some users report that the binder can be large for casual use and that inside-seam durability can vary. If portability or minimal bendability is essential, consider a different format.
