This was not a good choice on my part of things to buy for my portfolio. It looks cheap because it is cheap. I was not satisfied and will not be buying this ever again.
I use these to hold photos. After a shoot I arrange the photos I want to show as a collage on letter-size photo paper. Using Printshop I can arrange label date and add background or graphics for interest. Inserted into the clear sleeve they are easy to view and handle. Cover and spine allow a title page and spine label. I just gave one to my grandson who is studying photography in college. Hopefully it will be a convenient portfolio for a project.
I've used these binders many times - the one thing that "bugs" me is I can't remove the advertising on the outside spine. Since I'm paying for the binder I don't feel I need to give free advertising to Staples.
