I have three and I use them to organize and store hand written family recipes in 8 1/2 x 11 clear plastic slip pages. I also put recipe cards in clear plastic photo pages. When I need a recipe I remove the page from the binder for ease of use. I use index pages to separate the catagories like Cookies Main Dishes Veggies etc. The clear plastic pages keep the recipes free from spills and the pages are easily reinstalled into their proper catagories in their binders. I chose the black binder covers because I have black appliances in my kitchen. The binders are very sturdy and look as if they will last for years. I consider them a very good investment.
We use these binders for client reports and our clients always comment on the actual binder (as well as our contents!) as being very substantial and they like the different feel of it too.
Love this looseleaf! It holds all my papers together and doesn't break like the other brands I got previously. It's made really well and is built to last! The rings stay closed all the time..and I love the color!!!! Such a variety of colors Staples offers! In general Staples is my favorite place to shop for school supplies! They have the best variety and they always have great sales arpund the year! Many other kids in my class say they shop there too!! One girl even has this same looseleaf for 2 years already!! Never broke once! Thanks Staples!!!
Take lots of classes and these binders come in so many really great colors it is easy to right for the binder I need when I need it. Do some traveling and these binders have held up under adverse conditions and still look great. Have had some of them for about 3 years and they still look just about new probably because materials and construciton are superior to other binders.
This is a very durable binder. The one touch clasp for opening the binder is great! I would recommend it to all teachers who need to put their class notes in a safe place.
