This is a well priced product that meets the needs. I have yet to have one tear or fade in the five years I have been using them. For the standard grade it meets or exceeds my needs Do not improve or modify this product. It stands the test of time. IMHO
I sell collectables including old stock certificates and antique envelops with interesting post marks. I insert old stock certificates individually into these protectors so others can handle them. It makes the certificates more saleable. I will also cut the sheets and insert old envelopes (first day covers with a commemorative stamp sent on the stamp's first day of issue). Again it makes the envelope safe to handle and easier to sell. I can put a sticker on the protector with price and other information without harming the item itself.
These top-loading sheet protectors were a good price for the quality and quantity. I used these to make up my own recipe book. You can easily slide the recipes into the pocket from the top. They are non-stick and you can wipe them off easily if anything gets on them. They can serve many purposes. I like that they are static free. The papers slides in easily. They turn easily in a binder which is what I used them in. The are medium weight yet they protect the paper inside nicely. I was very happy with my purchase.
I bought these to go in a 3" 3 ring binder. I save recipes in one binder arts and crafts in anither and baking ideas in the last one. These page protectors save clutter space and keep my ideas organized
I use these to keep my sewing patterns organized. Love them! I also use them for my beading patterns so I have everything easy to find. Other than keeping them organized these sheet protectors keep my patterns in perfect shape and will allow me to keep them indefinitly. They also have some sheep protectors that have a flap over the open edge so that way little pieces won't slip out. Perfect for small pattern pieces. And keeping all of these in a notebook keeps everything all neat and organized :)
