The Arden Creative Studio Maker Series BindRight Craft Die Set takes the guesswork out of creating perfectly aligned pages for your 3-ring binders. Designed to position binder holes at the correct distance from the edge of your project, these clever dies make it easy to create secure, durable pages without measuring or marking—simply align, run through your die-cutting machine, and achieve evenly positioned holes every time.
What's Included
- 2 identical BindRight craft dies
- Designed for cutting 3-ring binder holes in paper, card and tags
- Extended edge alignment guide for accurate placement
- Compatible with standard die-cutting machines
- Coordinates with Arden Creative Studio 3-Ring Binders
Design & Function
The BindRight dies are engineered for precision and ease. The extended edge of each die acts as an alignment guide—butt it against the edge of your paper, card or tag, and the die-cut produces binder holes at the correct distance from the edge every time, with no measuring or marking required. By keeping the holes set away from the very edge of your material, the design also reduces the risk of pages tearing when they're added to a ring binder—ensuring your handmade journal and album pages stay secure and durable over time. The inclusion of two identical dies gives greater flexibility when working on larger projects, multiple pages or repeated sections.
Why Choose This Die Set
The no-measure, no-mark precision is the standout benefit—eliminating the fiddly, time-consuming process of measuring and marking binder hole positions by hand, and removing the risk of misaligned pages. The tear-resistant hole placement is a thoughtful design advantage—by positioning holes away from the material edge, the dies create pages that withstand repeated handling and ring binder use without tearing, essential for interactive journals and albums that will be revisited often. The two-die format adds real practical value—use both simultaneously across multiple pages for faster project builds, or keep one handy whilst the other is in use. The seamless coordination with Arden Creative Studio 3-Ring Binders makes this set an essential companion for crafters using the Black (ACSRB0001) or Silver (ACSRB0002) binder packs to build handmade journals, planners and albums.
How to Use
Position the die on your chosen material—paper, card or tag—with the extended alignment edge butted against the edge of your project. The die will position the binder holes at the correct distance from the edge automatically. Cover with a cutting plate and run through your die-cutting machine following the manufacturer's sandwich guide. Remove the die to reveal perfectly aligned, cleanly cut binder holes. Insert the prepared page directly into your 3-ring binder. Use both dies simultaneously when preparing multiple pages to speed up larger project builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How many dies are included in the set?
The set includes 2 identical BindRight craft dies. The two-die format gives greater flexibility when working on larger projects, multiple pages or repeated sections—use both simultaneously to speed up project builds, or keep one handy whilst the other is in use.
Q: How do the dies position the holes correctly without measuring?
Each die features an extended edge that acts as an alignment guide. Butt this extended edge against the edge of your paper, card or tag, and the die-cut produces binder holes at the correct distance from the edge automatically—no measuring or marking required. The die does the positioning work for you, ensuring consistent, accurate results every time.
Q: Will these dies work with my die-cutting machine?
These are standard thin metal craft dies compatible with most standard die-cutting machines. Check your machine's compatibility with thin metal dies before use, and follow the manufacturer's recommended cutting sandwich for best results.
Q: Do these dies only work with Arden Creative Studio 3-Ring Binders?
The BindRight dies are designed to coordinate seamlessly with Arden Creative Studio 3-Ring Binders (ACSRB0001 and ACSRB0002), producing holes at the correct spacing for these binders. They may also work with other standard 3-ring binders with matching hole spacing—check your binder's specifications before use if using a different brand.
Q: Why do the dies position holes away from the edge of the material?
By keeping the binder holes set away from the very edge of your material, the design reduces the risk of pages tearing when they're added to a ring binder. This is particularly important for pages that will be handled often, turned repeatedly, or support layered and embellished compositions—ensuring your handmade projects stay secure and durable over time.
Q: Can I use these dies with different materials?
Yes. The dies cut cleanly through paper, card and tag materials of standard craft weights. For heavier cardstock or multiple layers, test a small cut first to confirm your die-cutting machine's capacity and adjust your cutting sandwich accordingly for clean, precise results
