I'm a teacher and I've used many binders throughout my career. I bought my first Staples Better Binder because I saw a recommendation by a professional organizer on YouTube. It didn't disappoint! I love the construction selection of colors and the durability. I also like the tab on the spine because it's not too small and easy to label with a shipping label. I actually look forward to organizing our new state curriculum next year because I can do so in these great binders!
As a college professor I use my collection of these binders to organize my classroom notes and handouts. I use a different color for each class which are easy to find when they get lost in a pile.
The quality of this binder impresses me. I've had to open and close the rings repeatedly without any trouble. It's sturdy and will last for many years to come. I would say this Staples brand product is as good if not better than the name brand binder you find in stores.
When my kids started using binders for school I bought a different brand because it said heavy duty and was cheaper. Well half way through the year I would have to replace them because they would fall apart. Then I tried Staples better binders. Not only did they last all year but we reused most of them the following year. Even my son couldn't destroy them. The color choice is great too. We color coded every class! Use these with reinforced filler paper(also worth the extra)and everyone was happy!
