Question Check list in spiral bound

Is there anyone who would take your check list put it into format, laminate the pages and put a spiral bound on it? I have pages of paper and when there wrinkled I just print new ones. Want to be done with that. I often thought the check list ( part one) should be standard for each model then part two would be specific to your N umber.

I color coded and laminated mine, makes it easy to find the section you need:

I used one of these: https://www.flyboys.com/fb2202.html



My POH is a Word doc and I simply print it out at 65% original size and slip 2 pages in back to back. Making changes or adding/Deleting info or pages is dirt simple and doesn't affect the rest of the checklists.

An idea I've considered is making pull-out cards like on the old HP analyzers.
Slide out from under the panel.
Like this:

Might even use laser engraved black anodized aluminum or a few FrontPanel Express engraved panels. Harder to modify though!

This is what I use. Have been using this kind of binder for years. For various airplanes. I also put frequently used approach plates towards the back in extra
Plastics. Now that I am paperless they sit on the shelf.

Yep. Any FedEx printing place can laminate, punch and spiral bind. One can assume any other printing place can also perform the process.
Have you considered using an old 1" jepp binder? They are a dime a dozen out there now that everybody has gone to electric charts.

Both Office Max and Staples will make spiral bound presentation books. On my quick search it looks like officemax will laminate the individual pages but may only be letter size paper. Staples will do many different sizes, but I did not see an option to laminate every page. Other local print shops can probably also do what you are looking for.

Here is the links to the staples and officemax services
