A curator of the Early Office Museum in London, United Kingdom, said that it was in 1859 when the first patent for a 2 ring binder was filed. Ring binders were invented by Friedrich Soennecken of Bonne, Germany, in 1886.
However, it was another German named Loius Leitz who introduced the concept of holes in the side of the binders. Leitzs binder has 2 holes that are 80 mm apart it was the first 2 ring binder. The 2 ring binder was followed by 3 ring binders and the D ring binders. The 2 ring binder is wider used in most countries in holding A4 sheets.
The materials used for its manufacturing vary but they are always produced in the same style. The 2 ring binder gives people the convenience of reading through their papers from top to bottom without switching the page. Nowadays, the 2 ring binder is not only used to hold papers as there those that are designed to also hold CDs and DVDs.
