I used them because I bought the 'wrong' box; Usually I just buy regular sheet protectors. I wasn't able to open up the page without a scissor or letter opener. I don't know if this issue is true for all boxes but for me the blue box protectors are just fine
I've been using Staples' HD Sheet Protectors for more than four years now since Avery discontinued one of their design features. The Staples HD brand at that time had the desired "look" so I "switched horses in the middle of the stream". Over those progressing years since switching however Staples' production-line has undergone changes which have adversely effected the overall features/standards of their sheet protectors. Although the thickness may have been retained at 3.3 mils the clarity of the protector sheets have noticeably been faltering. Once crystal clear the protectors have progressively become increasingly foggy with vertical streaking. Those conditions have not (yet) degraded the photo documents I show & protect with the Staples sheet protectors so I will continue with the Staples HD brand until the clarity of the photos are shown to become not-as-clear as desired. This reality therefore dictates that I issue a caveat to my "recommendation to friends" - the mil thickness is adequate but for clarity it is up to the individual user to make that decision based on their document protection and clarity requirements.
This product is very easy to use and is sturdy and doesn't yellow. I have used the Heavy-Duty Sheet Protectors for many years without a problem. I would certainly recommend this valuable product to all who need to have a reliable and nice feeling sheet protector. The important papers that are ensconced in the short protectors are just as nice as the first day that they we're inserted. The protectors bare easy to remove from my notebooks when I want to use a single page to work from. Will purchase more soon!!
These sheet protectors are very good quality and really fit the bill for the scrapbooks I was creating for my grandchildren. I filled each protector with varying size paper items some thicker than others. The sheets were able to accommodate all that I needed to put into the scrapbook. This is my third purchase of this product and have used them in the past for various projects to keep papers and items safe and intact for the future. I can highly recommend the use of the sheet protectors.
