these sheet protectors are used each week and added to our binders. they hold up very well without ripping. the sheets hold music and are continually being used each week. the sheets however have a tint to them. i wish they would come in a totally clear sheet that way there would not be a glare. our members complain that with a tint that the glare with white inserts bothers their eyes under the lights. the product all in all seems to be a standard for staples. durability wise they hold up to the ever week use by our people.
I discovered a long time ago that I had too many recipes for a little box. I decided to buy a 2" 3hole notebook to put all my recipes into. I realized if I was going to take a recipe out to use then I would need something to keep it clean. I found the nonstick top-loading sheets perfect for my needs. Not only did the protector keep my recipes clean but my notebook pages were now all a uniform size and the pages were easy to turn. If I needed to rearrange the pages which I did they were easy to take out sort and re-arrange. I will be needing a second notebook soon and I will surely use the same protectors!
I have used these plastic sheet protectors to cover my recipes in my recipe binder for YEARS. Staples brand is just fine; there is no need to go buy Avery or anything more expensive. Putting your recipes in plastic sheets is a good idea because when someone inevitably spatters ingredients all over the counter and recipe book they just wipe clean. My husband is a workout nut and he is always trying new workout routines that her prints out from the internet. Because it is always something new he needs to look at the printout and then he drips sweat on it - gross. But the sheet protectors make it so he can just wipe it clean.
Staples Sheet Protectors are clear and easy to view though to see the documents. Staples Sheet Protectors are easy to use to insert two 8-1/2" by 11" sheets of paper into the sleeve. The three wholes for a three ring binder fit perfectly. The sheet protector page turns in the three ring binder very nicely. The sheet protectors are in two plastic enclosed packages with one hundred sheet protectors in each package. The plastic packages have ten different languages explaining the warning to keep the plastic packages away from children. This a must have for protecting your documents in a binder.
