Product specification:

88 pages 198 x 297mm with 12mm binding edge giving overall A4 format. 

Over 300 individual illustrations (excluding road signs). Printed in full colour (CMYK) on 130gsm paper.

Encapsulated: Pages completely sealed between two sheets of plastic film. Binding holes are punched through the plastic film only so it can't separate from the paper.

Binding: Choice of 4-D ring presentation binder or coil bound with 'Plasticoil' as used for armed forces maps! Unlike wire bindings, there is minimal risk of damaging the product or pages coming loose with repeated use.

Weight: 1.07kg (coil bound) and encapsulated in 125 micron gloss film - designed to be light and flexible enough for comfortable use. 

Coil binding is the favoured format of instructors who work best with diagrams only; the diagram page can be shown to the client with the lesson plan folded back and out of sight.

The 4-D ring folder version adds rigidity to the product for those who prefer to be able to refer to lesson plan notes when teaching, or who want to incorporate additional materials of their own.
