A method of manufacturing a binding strip includes the step of providing a length of metal strip from a supply thereof. The length of metal strip is folded about a first fold line parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof to form two portions angularly disposed to each other about the first fold line. The invention extends to a method of binding a calendar which includes the step of providing a length of metal strip from a supply thereof. The metal strip is folded about a first fold line parallel to a longitudinal axis thereof to form two portions angularly disposed to each other about the first fold line. An end of the calendar is located in a region between the portions and secured between the two portions. The invention extends further to an apparatus for manufacturing a binding strip and to an apparatus for binding a calendar.
