Very Well Constructed

Have bought many over the last two years and all work very well. Rings meet and lock securely holding contents. Binder holds up under multiple opennings and closings without cracking.
These make a nice presentation are very durable and professional. They are easy to customize too. I particularly appreciate how smoothly the rings close -- I've used dozens and they hold up really well. Great value too.
I have been using these Staples Better Binder View Binders for the past two years. They are durable and hold up well to constant use. I am an Art Teacher and have nearly 600 students. This binder is perfect as my plan book and grade book. I purchased this particular binder for my student teacher who starts next week. Her favorite color is blue. Inside I have placed my lesson plan paper class lists schedules fire drill schedules and other important information. I love the selection of colors of the Staples Better Binder View Binders. Red orange yellow green blue and fuchsia. The colors are clean and bright. The binder does not crack or break part. An excellent product.
These are the sturdiest binders I have found. Perfect for organizing documents I need to keep for a long time as well as for my kids to use for school. They've lasted more than one school year for my kids. Also like that Staples offers a $2 recycling discount when you turn in and old binder and purchase a new one.
There are many designs for binders and over the years I have purchased and used many of them. This particular design is clearly one of the best for the overall construction and durability. Neat color selections (I like the yellow to note special material. Blue is for legal papers etc.). Not the lowest cost but the value is in how well the rings open and close securely.
I own several of these binders in an assortment of colors. I like the black rubber edges. They contrast well with the colors. The slot for the label is great. There is no chance of them pealing off. And the labels are big enough to be seen from across the room. The single lever to open the rings has little effort to work and has a smooth action. The only demerit is that it should be available in 1/2-inch thickness.
I use the folder to hold music manuscripts. Using this lets me turn the pages easily. This is particularly useful for duets. I cannot afford to have pauses in the performance which can happen when you are turning pages at the end of a page. I make copies of the original manuscript and slide them into the sleeves. This is great because it means I don't have to mark up my originals. I like how well the folder closes and a little thing the spine labels that let me identify the music. Downside I can't get the binder to accept 250 sheets without spilling them all over the place
