Heritage & History
Naked Binder was founded in Des Moines, Iowa with the dual mission of keeping school and office supply manufacturing in America and reducing the environmental impact of everyday paper products. The company uses 100% post-consumer recycled materials — paper that has already been through the recycling stream — to produce binders, folders, and notebooks that would otherwise be made from virgin materials overseas.
The natural kraft appearance of Naked Binder products is not a stylistic affectation but a functional result of using recycled fiber: the brown tones of unbleached recycled paper. The product performs identically to conventional binders; it simply carries the story of its material in its appearance.
Made in Des Moines, Iowa
Naked Binder products are manufactured at the Des Moines, Iowa facility using post-consumer recycled paper and board. The manufacturing process handles the complete production cycle — converting recycled fiber into board material, forming binders and folders, and adding hardware — at the Iowa location.
The lineup covers essential school and office needs: 1-inch, 1.5-inch, 2-inch, and 3-inch 3-ring binders, pocket folders, and composition notebooks. All products meet standard letter-size specifications and work with standard 3-ring hole punches and filler paper. The Des Moines manufacturing allows Naked Binder to maintain quality control and a transparent supply chain — something that matters increasingly to school districts and businesses trying to source domestically.
