Is there such a thing as a horizontal binder? As a firefighter I've tried to preserve our map books (they don't last long in a pumper). The maps available to us are 11 x 8 1/2 and not 8 1/2 x 11. The standard vertical (8 1/2 x11) binders do not work well with the maps.

If you know of a horizontal (11 x 8 1/2) binder exists or doesn't , please post. If available, I could also use some horizontal sheet protectors.

uh... turn the binder sideways? are the holes pre-punched on the maps or do you get to punch the holes in?

1) Buy a binder
2) Put maps in binder
3) Rotate 90º
4) Have a :beer:

Tried that, every other page is upside down, they don't match up. The way the map is designed it doesn't work in a vertical binder.

So you want a horizontal binder but where the pages still turn like a normal book right to left? (rings on the short side of the page)


Like these?

Just go down to office depot or some other office supply store. They are quite common.

I was thinking of something similar... like a ledger of some sort.
