Rounded does look nice, especially if you can laser cut everything with slits and alignment marks. It would be quicker still if one had a dedicated binder set up for tight curves.

The problem i've had with this technique, is that with thinner pouches, the zipper slider seems to snag into the binding tape on top corners.. any idea how to counter this, apart from making the piece where the zipper attaches, wider?

I tend to cut the corners at 45° which makes them more flexible too.

With the straight method, the slider can snag on the binding corners, if the pouch is narrow. It does limit the design to larger pouches.
Bootcat, I’m interested to see you 45° corners.

I was thinking that instead of binding all 4 sides from separate pieces of binding tape, i'd use a single piece of tape, and just bind the corners with a 90 degree turn in the tape. I'll try that one tomorrow.

I think you could bind one side, front or back, with one continuous piece. Making the corners look good might be difficult. Post a pic if you have success.

I use the 45° technique as well. It is the same technique you use @geardynamics but instead of making 1 cut for the 90° corner. I make a cut and 2 cm further i make another cut. Both in 45° angle. The time you loose buy making the extra cuts is gained by binding in a continuos piece. There is a tutorial on here somewhere that explains the technique. I could post some pictures from the process when i get home friday. I am in the field right now

Looks pretty ok.. just make sure you fold the tape in the direction you are sewing

Doing this by hand, how long do you figure it takes you?

The binding? All in all, maybe a few minutes. It doesn't really matter to me, as i only do custom work, not large batches.
