I was recently in need of a new good three (3) ring binder for replacement for my old one at home. So I visited my nearest Staples store to see what they had. There were plenty in stock of various sizes colors types and prices. I decided to purchase a black 1 - 1/2" Staples heavy duty view binder with three D - rings. Since I have many in my house I normally buy a view binder. There are two (2) one on the outside front and another on the outside spine. On both of these I can type or write what the binder contains. This way I can readily see what is in the binder rather than taking it off of the shelf to find out. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
I bought red binders for our company at the request of one of our owners. He needed it for a fire system manual and specs for a customer of ours. It was exactly what he needed. The rings opened easily and yet closed securely. The binder held all his pages including the divider pages neatly and the pages and dividers were easy to turn. The spine was nice and sturdy leading us to believe that it will hold up well with frequent use. I would recommend this brand of binder to anyone looking to buy a binder.
I always bought Avery heavy duty view binders. Now Staples carries the Staples heavy duty view binders. When I put my items in plastic sleeves they come about flush with the top of the notebook. It seems like they should be slightly below the top. Every time I open the notebook it makes a crackling sound from the movment of the plastic outer cover. The Avery notebooks do not make this sound. I like the Avery ones better
Binders can hold papers and handle heavy use. The metal rings open and stay closed even when full and used on a weekly bases. There is an adequate selection of color so that folders can be bought by color and color coded. The pricing is reasonable and appreciated by this small business owner.
I just love this binder! It holds everything i want it to with such precision and expertise! I could not have picked a better 3 ring binder to hold all my papers.
