"Explain 'Heavyweight' to me again?"

It's okay. Nothing to write home about though. There are better quality sheet protectors out there. And probably not as expensive. My preference is Wilson Jones. THEY know "heavyweight." My biggest complaint is the word "Heavyweight" must mean different things to different companies. I would not consider this heavyweight at all. At a competitor their heavyweight seemed much better. This one feels "average."
I have been using Staples heavy-duty sheet protectors for many years. As a teacher I use them to keep lessons and hand-outs neat and organized. In my jewelry making business I use them to protect design sheets and other important papers. Finally as someone who loves to cook I keep my recipes protected and organized. It doesn't matter if you are messy in the kitchen these sheet protectors wipe clean. I have found them to be very durable and long lasting and I would recommend them without hesitation.
These are great quality...able to hold 12-15 documents easily. nice & clear plastic good for showing off images like drawings/ magazine tears. I wouldn't bother with the regular weight unless it was for a school project or at home organization. For professional quality this is the only good option.
As a genealogist I need durable and document conservation. Acid free construction is a definite plus with excellent clarity. I cannot comment to how long-lived the clarity will be however having not used these before. They certainly appear to be well constructed and sturdy. I have used 'bargain' brands that tore even on loading the documents; certainly NOT the bargain they pretend to be. I was a bit disappointed on the price though. There is a high need for document conservation but as semi-retired people it is definitely difficult to purchase these in any kind of bulk for a reasonable amount of money but I'm hesitant to go to anything labeled 'economy' due to bad experiences with others. Please consider occasional "Big Sales" on this item.
Using them to organize my very valuable genealogy information-REALLY love that they are thick (not flimsy) acid free & archival quality for my precious generations of documents. The price was also much better than others on the shelf.
