Great Binder!

We tried the cheaper binders last year. After a couple of months they completely fell apart. My daughter insisted we try this binder. I was hesitant at first because of the cost. After inspecting the binder it was very evident that this one was better made then the cheap ones we usually buy. After purchasing the binder we discovered it held up very well the rest of the school year. In fact it is still in great shape and can be reused this year! I purchase more of these binders for the upcoming school year. We will never go back to the cheapie binders again.
My customers love their materials delivered in these hardy binders! The colorful choices make it easy to distinguish material sets and the front pockets let me customize the cover easily. The spine is a little tricky to print but is well worth the effort. The black rubber-like edging keeps the binders from slipping off the desk. The rings are easy to open and stay closed (when you want them to) even after heavy use. Don't know why Staples calls these "better" binders they are the Best binders!
Great for the kids' schoolwork or the home office. Lots of vibrant colours to choose from even some cute prints for the kids. And unlike most products these seem to get better every year. The plastic pockets are stronger and the binders themselves seem to get sturdier. The rings are also easy to open and close without pinching fingers. And they actually hold at least the number of pages stated on the description.
1 1/2 in binder is on my 3rd grader's supply list. Even though I have several binders at home I knew they weren't going to last a month with his use (abuse). He loves the color and since the binder is made of hard plastic and rubbery binding; it seems to be significantly sturdier.
The Staples Better Binder is definitely the best you can buy. While it is a bit pricey the quality of the product makes it worth it. I traded in old binders to get the an extra two dollars off which brings it closer to the price of other binders on the market. Great for binders that are beat up a bit being stuff in lockers and backpacks. I personally like the pocket in the front to put pictures and papers in. Also the binding has a space to label the binder. This is something I will certainly buy over and over again (although I won't need to as frequently).
