The Blankbook, Looseleaf Binder and Products manufacturing industry in the US, part of the overall printing industry, involves the participation of manufacturers and establishments associated with the production of blankbooks (checkbooks and books with ruling paper), as well as looseleaf binders, along with products such as ruled chart, graph paper, albums, and record albums. The global economic recession has adversely affected printing companies that continued to use the conventional offset presses. The increasing use of computers and the Internet, and the growing popularity of interactive websites and blogs over print newspapers and magazines is affecting the prospects of conventional printing market.

The market for Blankbook, Looseleaf Binder and Other Products is forecast to surpass $2.0 billion by 2015, as stated by the new market research report on blankbook, looseleaf binder and other products. Blankbooks & Binders account for a small share of the total US market for printing and publishing. During the late 1990s, the advent of computers and Internet affected the shipments of blankbook and looseleaf binder manufacturers. Sales witnessed a decline from the late 1990s up to mid-2000s. The increase in demand from business, home, and educational service markets is expected to foster the market for looseleaf binders and devices market.

Blankbooks have been in the production for a long time since the advent of the first printing presses. The Blankbooks segment, including checkbooks, accounting books, ledger sheets, and diaries, has witnessed minimal changes over the years in the US. The only visible difference is due to the advent of modern technology that has enabled letterpresses to be replaced with offset printing for printing operations involved in the blankbook manufacturing market. The advent of card-based transactions contributed to the significant erosion in the base of paper transactions (and checkbook usage), as evident by the fact that the use of paper checks has declined by more than 80%, as compared to the late 1970s.

The modern looseleaf binders segment constitutes a relatively younger market in the US, compared to the blankbook segment. The looseleaf binders segment has witnessed rapid technological innovations and product diversifications undertaken by manufacturers. Since the mid-1980s, the demand for binders with accessories witnessed rapid growth due to the advent of organizers, which are looseleaf date books comprising of inserts such as charts and foldout maps. A key development in the market has been the use of 4-color lithograph on vinyl, which has significantly simplified the manufacturing process that generally involves custom-design binders. The advent of flexible vinyls for binder covers is another new development for the manufacturers of looseleaf binders. The highly durable flexible vinyls ensure tighter fitting than the prior products. However, the products have brought to fore environmental challenges for the industry owing to the fact that vinyls do not decompose in landfills, and also release a hazardous chemical on being incinerated.

Establishments participating in the industry are engaged in printing or printing and binding operations. The industry comprises of players engaged in the manufacture of looseleaf devices, binders and blankbooks. The looseleaf binders market involves stiff competition among manufacturers in the fields of accessories such as slots and pockets capable of carrying unique items. Major players profiled in the report include Avery Dennison Corporation, ACCO Brands Corporation, Fellowes Inc., FranklinCovey Products LLC, Newell Rubbermaid Inc., Smead Manufacturing Company Inc., Spiral Binding Company Inc., The Mead Corporation, and ViaTech Publishing Solutions, Inc.
