Stapled Pamphlet Binding

Treatment Criteria:

Pamphlet-type materials which are not of single-fold structure may be stapled into a pamphlet binder. This is probably the least involved of all enclosure treatments.

Tools Needed:

Heavy-duty Stapler

Materials Needed:

Pamphlet Binder
Staples

	Here is a pamphlet we have determined is not a single-fold structure. It has a glued-on paper cover, somewhat concealing its binding structure. Let's take a look inside.
	Opening the cover reveals that it is in fact stapled. We remove the old staples using a staple knife, because they are usually ordinary steel ones which tend to rust.
	The pamphlet is stapled into a binder using the heavy-duty stapler shown. Only stainless steel staples are used. Once stapled, the work is finished.
	And here is the finished product.
