I was using the plain folders and punching my own holes and buying fasteners. Trying to figure out where to put the holes (often missing) and then sticking fasteners in was a pain. I love these folders with the fasteners already there. They cost more but considering time and frustration well worth the money. I highly recommend.
The folders are perfect for what our company uses them for but very expensive when we use about 1000 of them on a normal basis. having the fasteners is a brilliant way to keep organized but again it is still very expensive if we need to keep buying them.
We are an accounting firm and these folder guarantee the paperwork will stay in order in place and not fall out and get lost. I would highly recommend this product especially for any firm that deals with confidential information.
