I'm the treasurer for a couple of fraternal organizations to which I belong. As such I purchased these binders to assist me in keeping track of our checking accounts and monthly statements.Basically what I do is keep the monthly statements in their respective binders for three years. At the end of that three yearperiod I transfer the earliest year to another binder for permanent keeping. But in the meantime I've always got at least two year's records at my fingertips in case any members need to know exactly how much was spent and on what. I also use these binder for keeping track of our savings account statements as well as our investment accounts. Should actually have bought more while they were on sale. They open easily and close securely each and every time. No misalignment of the rings when they close as used to happen with other binders.
The title says it all - this is a heavy duty green binder. This is substantially haavier duty than the standard binders and takes a lot of wear and tear. The rings are open and close smoothly.
Disappointed. The binder was not heavy duty enough. Just days after using the binder one of the rings was already off alignment. My Middle Schooler; a non-rough girl kept it in her back pack. It was not overloaded with paper or misused.
I needed something to hold my lab notebooks that could take a decent amount of punishment. This binder fits the bill nicely. The periwinkle color makes it easier to keep track of my lab manuals I keep having students steal them when I use navy blue binders.
