This binder seems to be very durable. The only problem with it is I bought it for my middle school daughter to use for school. She is having a hard time opening the rings. I have no problem. So it may be more suited for adult use. We will have to see if she gets better with it. I was hoping to try this one out to see if it holds up better during the school year and getting pulled in and out of the locker. It costs a little more but if I don't have to buy as many binders it will be worth the price. Of course if my daughter doesn't have more luck opening the binder it will be out even if it holds up better.
I had a mish-mash of document binders that I have purchased over the years. None have an exceptional appearance. When I first saw these at Staples I knew that ALL my old binders will have to go. Now I have a nice clean look on my bookcase shelves....THANKS!
I have a lot of these binders in different sizes. They are sturdy reliable and attractive. The presence of colours allows me to subject-divide various topics etc in my small engineering office.
We are a HVAC Company and use these notebooks to hold all of the information for the equipment we have installed and leave one for the customer at the jobsite and we know they appreciate the quality of the notebook.
I have several of these binders and they have stood up to all kinds of abuse. Jostled around bookshelves thrown in stacks on the floor squished in briefcases and backpacks. I have one that the plastic cover tore taped it and has been fine for several years. I only wish that they came in a half-inch size.
Bought some of these years ago and they held up better than regular duty binders so when there arose an occasion where long term storage of important items became necessary these were my first choice. Was able to color co-ordinate the albums for neatness and with a label window can quickly identify what is in them. Cost was also a factor since the binders will not have to be replaced. They have a nice appearence when placed side by side and can be wiped clean without fear of color bleed. Plus they stand on edge without falling over. Plus since they are archival quality thee is no fear of the album damaging the contents.
