This binder is very sturdy with an easy open device. It has an area to place your own identification label which is not a usual part of any binder I have purchased before. It appears that the sections that will be bent over and over and very well reinforced which will extend the life of this product. It comes in multiple colors and the one I purchased was teal which makes it easily identifiable on a large shelt of other binders. I am very pleased with this purchase and will undoubtedly continue to purchase this particular brand in the future.
We use a lot of binders and use to go through some of them quickly - the plastic would rip or tear. I have yet to replace one of these Better View Binders since I have been using them for 5 years. Very durable! Worth the money especially since I was replacing the cheaper brands all the time.
These are great binders for information that must be located quickly (MSDS/SDS and other safety documents). Frequent use and a harsh environment will put these to the test and see how they hold up over the long term but they work to update our system and also keep the bright color that is easily spotted in our safety office.
I own two of these in different sizes to use to carry sheet music around to different gigs and jams. They hold up well to the rigors of being pushed into a carry case and protect the sheets that have been gathered over years. The flexibility and durability of the cover is the key in my opinion. More rigid binders haven't faired as well. I'll buy more when the collection grows and would definitely recommend them.
I bought this 3" binder for storing unmounted rubber stamps. It not only functions beautifully for the purpose intended the color certainly brightens up my art studio!
At the beginning of each year we order new binders and archive the old binders. It is so easy with Staples because the binders are in My Favorites List and I don't have to search for them again. This particular binder is very durable as we open and close it weekly. The convenience of having the places to insert a sheet describing the contents on the front and side are also very helpful. This binder comes in other colors but we stick to white and clearly mark the contents. The D rings are the best.
