Was close to Staples and needed this item. Price was higher compared to everywhere else. Youw ould figure that a signature product of a store that bears its name would be cheaper but not in all cases. Also the cards themselves feel thinner than other ones that I have.
I use notecards for many things beside "notes". These aren't fancy but durable and can be used for replacement labels for hanging file labels and the labels on notebook dividers. The lines are straight and nicely spaced. The multi-packs are economical especially when you can fill a Staples bag or when you have a coupon.
I have been buying staples brand index cards for years. It was a good value for the price and I would buy them in quantity. These index cards are definitely thinner then usual. They are now flimsy and more difficult to separate. What happened? I used to work in an office supply store years ago. The paper used goes by weight. The paper that is now being used is definitely not as heavy. If possible please go back to selling the better quality index cards even if that means raising the price a bit. It does not make sense to buy a lesser quality product just to save a few cents. Too difficult to work with these. Thanks
