These binders do cost a bit more but they last for years. Most standard binders get through one school year and they are done but we’ve had some of these going on four years now so they’ve been worth the up front investment.
I’m on a committee & added some pocket tabs in this binder- now everything has its place & makes information easy to find. I like that it’s a hard cover & has a slot on the front cover & side to insert picture or title. also pocket inside to insert Any small items you may need like pens or yellow sticky’s etc.
You can continue to buy other 3-ring binders - and they will ALWAYS break! These are the ONLY binders that last throughout the school year. Pay a little more but you get more for it. We've tried all other brands and ALWAYS come back to Staples hard shell binders.
