A torn document can be ‘held together with’ Scotch Tape; a collection of pencils may be ‘held together with’ an elastic band; and before the world had hole-punchers and three-ring binders, documents were grouped together and ‘held together with’ red tape. We have come a long way since clear plastic bags and binders were created.

Sorry, I thought you would understand.
The picture that CalifJim provided shows a group of financial documents with an elastic/rubber band holding them together. If this were the 16th century, before they had rubber bands, a piece of red ribbon would be used to hold them together. Does this still not help?
