This binder has the three rings mounted to the rear panel so when it's opened up the papers in the three rings lies flat and does not splay all over the place. There is a tab at the bottom of the three rings that pops them open easily. The binder is a little larger than average - I use them in my desk drawer instead of the hanging penda sleeves they stick up a little higher than the penda track so they are easy to grab and pull out.
If you would like a binder that will last this appears to be your binder. If you take papers in and out often this binder is for you. It opens and shuts easily and locks well. Love it.
1" Staples Better View Binder with D-Rings Black by Staples. VERY GOOD BINDER 10-TIMES BETTER THAN OTHER 3-RING BINDERS. NO SHARP EDGES AND HEAVY DUTY WILL LAST A LIFETIME.
Better Binders are my only choice of binder! I love the assortment of colors and sizes. These binders are attractive and they are the sturdiest binders I have ever owned. I especially like the label window on the spine. Better binders are easy to keep clean; just a quick wipe with a damp cloth will do the trick. I especially like the back-to-school version of the Better Binder because they have a poly envelope built right into the front inside cover. Better Binders really are the BEST binders!
