Great Storage Pages for Binders and Binder-Boxes
on September 19, 2023
Posted by: matesich
I like the top-folding flap for keeping inserts more secure. These work well for storing documents and photos within binders and binder-boxes. Avery--I would like to know whether these have been PAT (Photographic Activity Test) tested for black and white photographs? I'd like to use them for some old snapshots and cabinet cards, but would also like to make sure that whatever I use has passed ISO 18916, as the storage may be long-term.
I purchased these protectors along with a binder to be used on a special project that I am preparing. Couldn't be happier with this item. Very clear. Easy to read the copies and what I most love about these protectors is that they keep the dust and dirt from getting in and dirtying the paper. I purchased these on the opinion of the other 4 reviews. Glad I did.
These came in handy when my son had several projects to do at school. The clear, topload pages made it easy to insert the work without wrinkling the papers. In addition, I use these protectors when working on a craft project to protect my patterns.
I have been using these Avery 76000 sheet protectors for over a year now. I use them to enclose 8x10 photographs before sticking them into a large envelope to hand out to the recipients. I use a professional rotary trimmer to cut off the edge containing the binder holes, because I do not need their function. Recently, the local store was out of stock (it seemed like they do not carry this product anymore), and I ended up buying the store's own branded sheet protectors. Though the label on the outside of the protectors claimed that they were "heavyweight," I was unpleasantly surprised when I got home to find out that they were quire thin. There was a huge difference between the Avery brand and the store brand. The Avery sheet protectors (76000) have a lot of heft to them and that adds a bit of protection to the photographs in reducing the kinks in the photographs from handling. By the way, both the store brand and the Avery sheet protectors are archival.
I use the Secure Top Sheet Protectors for everything. They are great for use in reference binders. I have made numerous purchases of the sheet protectors. I used them making a reference binder for my replacement's use while I was out with surgery. They came in very handy to put miscellaneous items such as take-out menus, file index and instructions, accounting instructions, etc. I like them so much I use them at home and I plan on using them in my reference binders in my new career in real estate.
