Binding folder or clasper: what to choose a philatelist?

Both the binding folder and the bookmark are used to store the collection of postage stamps. Let's see what is more convenient, and, accordingly, on what to choose a philatelist.

1. Folders-binders are equipped with ring mechanisms to add, remove, swap pages. As for the klassers, here it is necessary to sort out almost the entire collection in order to reschedule the space. And here very often no calculations help: somewhere there is no place for stamps, but somewhere there is more than enough of it.

2. In binder folders, the pages are made of acid-free dense polymer with protective, transparent dense wings, tightly covering the stamps. In the case of the brand only 30-50% are under the protective film of the pocket, which reduces the protection against mechanical stress.

3. Binding folders are not completed with parchment sheets. They are simply not needed there: the postage stamps are under the polymer, transparent scenes. The parchment turning-over procedure, which often unnerves collectors, is present only in the pastors.

4. Sheets with pockets of different sizes in binder folders allow you to stack different sized stamps in them. They are completed, as a rule, with sheets for large and small blocks, stamp sheets, envelopes, rolled stamps, large, small, medium stamps, etc. In the case of this, this is absent.

5. On stamps with a special adhesive layer, paper clutches can be printed, the sheets of which are made of cardboard. Binding folders use acid-free polymer, which leaves no prints on the back side of the mark.

Choose only the best for your collections.
