I've seen several different styles of K1 Visa packets.  Binders with sheet protectors, top fastener style, folder with paper clips, etc.

What did you use and why?  What is preferred in 2023 since they seem to be scanner more and more now?

Have you read the USCIS instructions?   They clearly specify no binders.   Any additional fluff that makes it harder for them to disassemble  the packet is probably not a smart choice.   
 

The optional checklist/instructions that go with the form is a great resource, and a much better source for info then YouTube, etc.

When the I-129F arrives, the receiving person will scan all pages to PDF.

 

That person will not be your friend if you send what you described.

 

Keep it complete and simple.

I sent a binder with sheet protectors for organization. However, In that same application, I also sent a folder of all the files, as I had organized them. In the end, it worked and there was no issue

And all of your organizational activities were for nothing and all office supplies you included were separated and thrown in the trash bin

 Their instructions are clear that binders and such are a no-no.
