(54) Process of forming binding albums


(57) At least one side of the backs and sheets (1) that make up the album or other type of file for any purpose is provided, in a preferably centred position, with at least one opening or slit (2) having a "C" profile with the concavity facing outwards and such that at its ends the side of the sheet and/or back is equipped with aligned and opposed appendages (3, 103). By exploiting the flexibility of the material making up the sheets and/or backs, the said end appendages (3, 103) of the said side opening (2) of the sheets can be conveniently anchored to the ends of a hollow body (4), which is preferably tubular and which acts as a binding means, as a body of a hinge, and which by means of its shape and colour contributes to enhancing the aesthetic value and originality of the file.
