I'm the treasurer for a couple of fraternal organizations to which I belong. As such I purchased these binders to assist me in keeping track of our checking accounts and monthly statements.Basically what I do is keep the monthly statements in their respective binders for three years. At the end of that three yearperiod I transfer the earliest year to another binder for permanent keeping. But in the meantime I've always got at least two year's records at my fingertips in case any members need to know exactly how much was spent and on what. I also use these binder for keeping track of our savings account statements as well as our investment accounts. Should actually have bought more while they were on sale. They open easily and close securely each and every time. No misalignment of the rings when they close as used to happen with other binders.
I have tried several different binders and have been disatisfied with at least one feature of each binder. When I purchased the Heavy-duty Binder with D-Rings I made an excellenct choice. I love the clear sleeve on the front and back because I can custimize the look of the binder. The inside of the binder offers two clear pockets on the front and in the back. Let's talk about those D-Rings! I love the rings because they open easy have a tight close and do not make a loud noise when I open or shut them. I love the way the front cover of the binder opens and lies flat on the desk.
We purchased the 1 1/2" Staples Heavy Duty View Binders with D-Rings for our office. They work very well. We are able to fill these very full of items and never have any problems opening or closing them. And they come in many colors which makes it nice to color-code what we have in the binders sort of an easy filing system. They are definitely a binder that we will purchase again and again for our office. They are easy to use and look very professional. Thanks to Staples for making such great products.
