The Staples Better View Binder is most likely the finest made three ring binder I have ever purchased. The construction is typical of any folder that is meant to last. The working mechanism that operates the three ring system is tight and precise. The hinges are solid and appear to be capable of sustaining years of use. The materials used in the construction of this folder are strong and will withstand the rigors of daily use. The "see through" front allows easy insertion of a binder "title" that can easily be made on any printer. I will not hesitate to purchase more Staples Better View Binders as I need them.
I currently do a great deal of genealogy work and have found these particular binders very helpful for maintaining original sources as well as creating binders for my family. To date I have purchases 8 of these binders. The binders protect the information and do not let the "holes' fray after documents are placed within the binder. I have found them very attractive and allow me to put multiple binders together for one person. The protective label area allows easy access to the area...and easily allows the changing of the titles.
I was asked to purchase D-ring binders that only have one snap--I'd never seen them before but was able to find them right away on this site. These binders are great because I can hold my documents with one hand flip open the rings with one finger place my documents close the binder and be done! Also I love that it has such a short spine label spot. How does anyone even use the ones that go all the way down the spine? I've thrown out all our other binders and only use these =) The only aspect I dislike is that they've got a triangular pocket on the interior and I find that documents don't stay put very well.
I bought these in various sizes to update and organize our information in the office - what a difference! These notebooks are solid and sturdy and it's very easy to change out the spine labels and cover sheets. I love that they come in a wide variety of colors so I can color code by department/subject AND the colors brighten up the office (a big plus in the long New England winters :) The black trim areas keep them from sliding on the shelf and in your hand - it's easy to grab the one I need off the shelf and the 3-rings open easily with the one-touch latch when I need to make updates. All in all I love this style and as I continue to update our office reference books I'll keep choosing these notebooks.
I love the sturdiness of this product. I have purchased two of these in the past and immediately came back to buy more. I am a lover of binders as they help me to stay organized in all that I do. I use plastic sleeves and binders to keep all of the papers that I need to find in one place easy to find. The texture of these binders in particular along with the variety of colors makes these engaging to have on your work shelves. I appreciate the small slots on the sides to place a title for the binder. Long edges are hard to slide titles into without ripping your paper.
