One Tough Binder
on January 14, 2015
Posted by: Paula K.
We needed a binder to organize some documents for my mother-in-law who had two stokes in mid-November. After she spent about a month in the hospital and rehab center she came home. However she required 24/7 care. We bought this binder to keep files/documents for the caretakers and nurses that come daily plus the therapists (occupational speech and physical) that come one to two times a week. This binder is tough and allows the constant opening and closing of the rings as well as the everyday opening and closing of the binder itself.
This product was good quality vinyl covering was sturdy and construction of the notebook was strong. New periwinkle color was a nice change to the traditional primary colors normally available. inside pockets are great for extra storage and organization. Pricing was a little high but luckily found it on sale after the first of the year. D ring closure makes it easy to add pages and smooth turning. I would definitely recommend this product to others looking for a heavy duty binder.
Great size and sturdy construction make storing collectible papers and smaller items in custom clear pages a breeze. I have many of these all purpose binders and will continue to add them to my library of historical papers. These are good for multple purposes depending on the plastic inserts you require for your own collectibles. My wife has several binders one for holding her foreign coin collection another for post cards and another for Christmas Seals. Use your imagination to organize cluttered collections into standard book like binders.
Binders were expensive but well worth the cost. These were used for a commercial application to replace cheaper binders that did not have a pocket on the front and spline for labels and had ring failures after being loaded with documents. The Staples binders were much more sturdier and the rings remained locked and undamaged after shipping the loaded binders to our customer. I would highly reccomend these for professional presentations and would also reccomend purchasing the pre-made tab indexes. I also laminated the tab indexes by using a full page laminating sheet that was also purchased at Staples. This made sure the index remained undamaged after continued usage.
These are good quality binders but a little awkward to open since you need to open both top and bottom. I prefer the Staples "Better" binder line as they are somewhat more elegant looking and easier to use.
I received the order very promptly as usual. The Staples binder I thought would be like or similar to the Avery Dennison binder that I had been using for my church treasurer work for 2014. However the rings are not nearly as condusive for flipping pages through the binder. They seem to get hung up on the bend of the rings. They are not as curved as the Avery binder. We shall see if it holds up. If so I may consider purchasing another; but as of now I would go back to Avery Dennison in a heart beat!
This is a very solidly constructed binder. The D rings are not attached to the spine but to the back cover which makes the binder much easier to open and lay flat. Only one tab to open the D rings which make it very easy to operate. The extra pockets on the inside of the front and back cover are very convenient. A good solid product that will take a lot of daily use without ripping apart at the seams. I would recommend this binder for student use at school as well as for bookkeeping applications.
