I have been using the staples heavy-duty binders with D rings for quite awhile and find them very durable. I like the fact that one is able to place a sheet of paper inside the outside cover and the binder edge so that the contents are easily identifiable. I use the binder continuously so I really appreciate the fact that even after continuous use D rings do not open or expand as many other binders I have used in the past do. There is nothing worse than having a full binder and then the ring opens and everything falls out. The price for these is also great especially when on promotion.
A decent three-ring binder with clear view cover and interior pockets. But thin material is not what should be expected as "heavy duty". Overall a great value at the promotion price.
I have been purchasing Avery binders in this size and style for years. Thanks to a rebate offer in my Staples store I decided to purchase the Staples brand this year. Wow! Is this a great house-brand product. It is exactly the same sturdiness and size as the Avery binders I've been buying. I put it through a few stress tests already and the Staples brand has shown itself equal in every way to the brand name version. I have absolutely no regrets about making the switch and can see myself choosing more Staples brand items in the future.
These binders are stronger than the others and appear to be better constructed with a VIEW binder edge and front of the binder. We have to keep a lot of permits and files on hand and these are great to stand on the bookshelf. The lime green are bright enough to create the contrast we need for the emergency folders for environmental reports. They have other bright colors as well in the same VIEW folders for printing off your folder coversheets to make filing easier as well. They are a great plastic binder.
