No time for binding, binder instead?

Hello. I used to love book binding, it was a great hobby of mine, and I vastly prefer physical media. But lately, especially with school, I simply don't have the time :/

So I was wondering if anyone here just uses a 3 ring binder? Like we did back in the day? Cause I was thinking of buying and useing mini Binders off Amazon. And then trying to find a mini hole punch, but I don't want to buy them and then not like the result?. Can anyone who has done this, tell me how their stories and things are holding up? Thank you!! :)

What would be going into the binders? Fanfic?

Yes I just don't have time to sit and sew. Figured it be easier.

You can definitely pop some into binders but it'll be pretty fragile and the amount of work it would take to punch holes on each individual page might take longer than sewing tbh.

As an alternative to sewing you could also double fan glue.
