What is the purpose of clear plastic binding covers?

People typically use clear plastic binding covers, also referred to as presentation covers, to present binding projects, including employee handbooks, expense reports and business proposals. Clear plastic binding covers are a cheaper alternative to custom-printed covers, allowing the first page of a document to double as the cover page.

Clear plastic binding covers are available in various thicknesses and sheet sizes to provide the perfect fit for virtually any size of document. They typically come with different finishes. For example, some feature an anti-reflective finish to reduce glare, and some feature a matte finish that is tear- and scratch-resistant for increased durability.
