We use these binders for handbooks which are distributed to kids. Previous cheaper binders had an avreage life expectancy of about 6months. I have yet to see one of these be destroyed. The price is worth it but I would prefer to see some bulk rated pricing.
I am value oriented as well as quality oriented however I am willing to pay extra for better quality. This binder is a little on the spendy side but the quality and sturdiness make it worth the extra cost.
