UniKeep offers a range of products that allow users to make environmentally-sound choices for storage and presentation without sacrificing durability or functionality. Our polypropylene products require as much as 30% fewer materials to manufacture than traditional vinyl binders and this avoids the toxic waste generated in both the manufacture and elimination of PVC.
 The standard UniKeep binder is a single component with NO PVC, completely injection molded from 100% polypropylene - no mixed materials or metal rings - which makes it easily recyclable.
• Vinyl binders are NEVER recyclable without first laboriously separating the many component materials.
• Manufacturers who label their binders as recyclable when they have metal rings attached to polypropylene are deliberately misleading consumers.
The standard UniKeep binder is the only binder that is truly curbside recyclable.
Our Enviro-Binder is manufactured with up to 85% recycled content.
Beyond meeting environment impact guidelines, UniKeep™ patented Case Binders and View Case Binders™ offer unique features for meeting materials that no other binder, case, portfolio or binding system can match.
The fully enclosed case guarantees that a variety of materials can be included safely. Notepads, pens, CDs, and other promotional products can tuck neatly inside without compromising the stackability or presentation of the overall piece. Pieces won’t fall out and everything is protected by the rigid poly case.
The polypropylene construction offers additional advantages of durable rings that won’t rust, crimp, pinch, bend or mis-align, making them safe for children. The cases, especially View Case Binders, are moisture resistant. They are lightweight and easy to transport, protecting materials even when shoved into an over-stuffed carry-on.
The sleek, compact design of UniKeep binders and their variety of colors and imprint options encourage daily use as well as offering unique options for publications and packaging. Designers have unlimited potential with the cases which can be silkscreened, imprinted with high-resolution graphics on the full wrap overlay, or customized with a cover insert that can be commercially printed or even laser-printed one at a time. The full wrap cover offers a larger billboard for customization than other binders, too.
The same great features that make UniKeep binders so flexible are available in new Mini Binders for 5.5 x 8.5 pages, legal size binders and Extreme high capacity multi-compartment binders, as well as disc wallets for full size or 80mm CDs and DVDs.
EnvyPak™ mailers and envelopes offer a clear advantage with recyclable content.
This EnvyPak mailer is a crystal clear, 100% polypropylene envelope that offers high-impact results for direct mail.
Instead of hiding the contents, catalogs and marketing materials can be showcased along every point from origin to delivery.
 EnvyPak™ offers a substantial improvement over traditional poly bags and poly mailers because the premium construction and high resolution printing delivers superlative results for about the same cost as most comparable alternatives. The enclosed materials are better protected and better presented by the 4.5 mil poly and EnvyPak™ is USPS 100 & 1000 approved.
By special order, EnvyPak mailers can be custom manufactured using 100% compostible and biodegradable PLA corn poly, including EarthFirst® PLA Film, a renewable resource bioplastic.
