The sleeves were incredibly hard to open and it became increasingly harder with each attempt. It should not have been that difficult. After struggling with each page they were wrinkled and not as neat as I would have liked my professional portfolio to be.
Although the outside is sturdy the inserts were very difficult to open so much that once I did get them open & insert paper there was damaging wrinkles in the plastic making my project look unprofessional
I use this to keep all of my important papers safe. The thing I love about this the most is nothing has to stay folded. It's letter size so I can keep everything like new. It's so important to keep all important documents together in one place. In the event of an emergency it's grab and go.
