Giving each project its own color binder makes it easier for staff to locate information quickly and easily. But the ring mechanics and/or quality control needs to be better. Plastic sleeves get caught and ripped with miss matched rings.
With the nature of lockers small sharp edges constant use the average binder just does not hold up. I bought these binders for my son last year and he loves them. I consider myself value oriented but if I have to buy the cheaper binders multiple times the value just is not there.
These binders are the best I have found. My son has been using them for school for 3 going on 4 years. They hold up through the whole school year which is a huge feat. I have handed them in for the recycle program to get money off the purchase of a new one and the only thing wrong with them is that the front plastic sleeve has been torn off from the repeated shovings into a locker but the rings still closed evenly and they weren't ripped along the binding. I used to buy the cheap flimsy ones thinking I was saving money but half-way through the school year they would be destroyed and he would need replacements which are never on sale in Jan. So even though these are more expensive I now only have to buy one rather than spending more money on two cheap ones. I highly recommend these for any student or adult who is rough on their binders. If there is a binder recycle program in your area don't wait go hand in those cheap flimsy binders and get these especially since they are guaranteed.
