I had searched and searched on the internet trying to find a solution to my problem of the pages of the scrapbook literally disintegrating in my hands. I think I caught it just in the nick of time. I measured and re-measured and looked at the positions of the holes for binding and took a shot and ordered them from you, not really feeling confident that they would work.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white;"><br /></span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; text-align: start; text-decoration: none; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px;"><span style="color: white;">I just had to tell you that they are PERFECT! In order for the pages to fit in the protectors, I cut off the side where the hole punches were and then the pages fit perfectly into the sheet protectors. Some of the pages actually had already become totally detached from the book. It's a miracle for sure! My husband and I can't get over how they have saved this book for us, our daughter and our granddaughters and future generations. These are priceless photos and the joy of being able to keep them and the original written explanations on the original pages just can't be expressed adequately.</span></div><div data-setdir="false" dir="ltr" style="-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;

It may be from eBay, Walmart Marketplace or Amazon Marketplace. But they all have a few things in comments and much disappointment and time could have been saved.</span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Look for these warning signs</h3><div><span>1) The product description is insufficient. Size and measurements don't match or add up when comparing inches and metric numbers. Example: One customer complained her music sheet did not fit a 9x12 inch page as listed in the description with one of the larges retailers in the US. Sadly the person making the listing overseas did not understand the variations of page sizes used in the US or took the time to list the exact product dimension.</span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW54xrn3tEWHbxy4ZjZkvkxYRvR0jBIbQxjchax4CKJr8e_-IBxRWo1AGsOs6e00pUnpYk9LH7QqjJ960mll9IXrlSSbr_640jez4QeDEpu6N266E8E_DDfnd5ntJGVxRhH9B/s1200/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.04.38+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Sheet protector made too narrow for letter size paper" border="0" data-original-height="620" data-original-width="1200" height="100" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBW54xrn3tEWHbxy4ZjZkvkxYRvR0jBIbQxjchax4CKJr8e_-IBxRWo1AGsOs6e00pUnpYk9LH7QqjJ960mll9IXrlSSbr_640jez4QeDEpu6N266E8E_DDfnd5ntJGVxRhH9B/w194-h100/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.04.38+AM.png" title="Made too narrow for letter size paper" width="194" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFmTXnlw_f-5_MqYuE_tAb2Mo-HBOt76CgZbktMMkn3rAvAxHV4Jzakm3qBFPIUl3TOcBZPPzGDm72c7sCwo-lFlMVyQH-dU27hPsC3ftdGGMYv-ESxd4tTamNLrr7EduSrJD5/s1124/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.13.06+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Folding the paper in the sheet protector" border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="1124" height="108" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFmTXnlw_f-5_MqYuE_tAb2Mo-HBOt76CgZbktMMkn3rAvAxHV4Jzakm3qBFPIUl3TOcBZPPzGDm72c7sCwo-lFlMVyQH-dU27hPsC3ftdGGMYv-ESxd4tTamNLrr7EduSrJD5/w189-h108/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.13.06+AM.png" title="Folding the paper in the sheet protector" width="189" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbjoKqtoWlAcKx6aLeymBRMzGwu8jyyxsjiIzxcQI73jSWyYLBH8MtSMnR4jyF8btQLzdyekV8Rsq5bVUcO6_u6BM8B17FJZ8zx_YBjQWMDr59TB5AsJMNq4Q-lUvZ2igK9a1/s1346/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.33.03+AM.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Too narrow as waves" border="0" data-original-height="536" data-original-width="1346" height="77" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVbjoKqtoWlAcKx6aLeymBRMzGwu8jyyxsjiIzxcQI73jSWyYLBH8MtSMnR4jyF8btQLzdyekV8Rsq5bVUcO6_u6BM8B17FJZ8zx_YBjQWMDr59TB5AsJMNq4Q-lUvZ2igK9a1/w195-h77/Screenshot+2021-10-12+at+6.33.03+AM.png" title="Too narrow as waves" width="195" /></a></div></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b>Examples of letter size pages made too narrow.</b></div></div><br /><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>2) Thickness of the sheet may list "standard" when in fact it is what we consider in this country "lightweight". <br />The listed measurement listed: "4C" as in one example. C is not a gauge of distance (thickness) anywhere in the world. In that particular instance it was believed the description should have listed: 40C - for; 40 micron thickness and C for Clear. 40 micron is lightweight and flimsy just like the customer complained about.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div><span>3) A customer complained about the clarity of the sheet protector received. They were not "clear sheet protectors" as described on the packing. Again here in the US we consider clear to be as transparent as window glass perhaps. But overseas clear may be anything where you can see the content. in the page. We may consider that an "non-glare" or "frosted". There are different expectation and standards around the world. </span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span>Common Product Listing Issues</span></h3><div><span>The three exampels about have one thing in common. The product listing was made overseas by a company that would sell everything from bike parts to household products. I don't know anything about bike parts and clearly they don't about office supplies. Focus.</span></div><div><span><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/keepfiling-sheet-protectors-buying-guide-a/280.htm#materialgauges">Read about minimum standards for sheet protectors thickness as established by Keepfiling</a></li><li><a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/keepfiling-sheet-protectors-buying-guide-a/280.htm#glassclearnonglare">Learn about clarity of sheet protectors</a></li></ul></div><h3 style="text-align: left;">Recommendation</h3><div>Don't just look at the number of stars in the rating. Fake ratings can be purchased on-line by the 1,000th. It's not allowed by most market places but it is common practice overseas in places as China and as Walmart, Amazon, etc. open up for overseas listings this common practise has followed along. The examples listed above all had +4 star rating. <br /><br /></div><div>What products do the vender focus on. Do they offer a line of products or just a single product. If they offer a line of matching products most likely they have invested time and effort understanding the marketplace and the quality requirement by the customer and hopefully use standard terms within that industry, example: "Heavyweight" Standard, and "Super Heavyweight" as in the case with sheet protectors.

The 5.5 x 8.5 size is just so convenient and can be used for so many different purposes.<br />
<br />
The number 1 most popular use for it is to organize Classical Conversation Timeline cards. For many years now we have had customers who buy both our binders and sheet protectors to help them protect and organize these Timeline cards for their kids.<br />
<br />
However, as it turns out, there are other uses for the 5.5 x 8.5 size that has slowly become more and more useful. One of them is for organizing Playbills.<br />
<br />
Playbills, for those who don't know, are booklets that features details of the different Broadway plays through out the year. Play goers will subscribe to Playbills yearly subscription and receive a Playbill booklet every month. These booklets are 5 and 3/8 inches by 8 and 1/2 inches, so they fit perfect into our <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/5-1-2-x-8-1-2-Sheet-Protectors-p/15500.htm" target="_blank">5.5 x 8.5 sleeves</a> with a little bit of room to spare.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Using <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/Sheet-Protectors-s/1.htm" target="_blank">Keepfiling's sheet protectors</a> to store these Playbills if the perfect choice. Our sheet protectors are archival safe acid free. This helps prevent damaging effects of sunlight, oxygenation, acidic corrosion, and dust to the Playbills. The extra heavyweight polypropylene of the sheet protectors will provide excellent protection to your<br />
<br />
Once put in the the sheet protectors, you can organize them anyway you like with our <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/Mini-Binder-for-5-1-2-x-8-1-2-inch-documents-p/30500.htm" target="_blank">5.5 x 8.5 Mini binders</a>. Sort them anyway you wish in the binder and flip through them easily when you want to browse through them. The crystal clear material makes it very easy to see the actual Playbill. <br />
<br />
Available now on Keepfiling is the <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/Playbill-Binder-p/3x500xx-2-15500-pb.htm" target="_blank">Playbill Binders Set</a>; includes 2 binders and 1 pack of sleeves (50 sleeves).

Located on the binder spine (always 2 inches from the bottom), the finger hole provides an easy way for you to take the binder on and off shelves, table, or wherever you are placing your binders. Simply slide your finger into the hole and move your binder around. This is a very convenient feature that does not get enough credit. <br />
<br />
What's also unique with Keepfiling's finger hole is that it comes with a 'ring'. Rather than just cutting a hole in the spine and leaving it as it is, we made this 'ring' that snaps on easily. This 'ring' adds a touch of designer and professionalism to give the binder a more complete look. Each Keepfiling binder comes equipped with a 'ring' matching the inside color of your purchased binder - so that's either Snow White, Lime Green, Sapphire Blue, and Red.<br />
<br />
<b>New Rings</b><br />
<br />
Over the years we have had customers ask if they can purchase extra 'rings' or if other colors were available. Today, we are very happy to answer both questions with a yes as we are now selling 'rings' separately, and in different colors as well!<br />
<br />
Aside from the four classic colors, we now have eight new wonderful colors available for you to use and interchange:<br />

Each color is sold individually in a pack of 12 'rings'. You also have the option to purchase a mix pack with one of each color.<br />

<b>Mix and Match with our White Zen Binders</b><br />
<br />
Since the launch of our White Zen View Binders, we've been working on coming up with ideas on how to make them stand out and be even more unique. With our new 'rings' this can be achieved as the new colors pair up with the white binders perfectly.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once you're purchased our new 'rings', you can swap out the original one that comes with the binder and use the new ones in a colorful and fun way - as you can see in the picture above.<br />

<b>Matching Spine Labels</b><br />
<br />
You can even have matching colors for the 'rings' and the actual spine label. Just simply <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/Templates-s/96.htm" target="_blank">download our spine label templates for free</a> and you can match the together.

We have the right binder for you. View binders make for excellent presentation binders as they often have a clear front cover that lets you insert a cover sheet for your presentation.<br />
<br />
Our <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/White-Zen-View-Binders-s/126.htm" target="_blank">White Zen View Binders</a> take it one step further an offers a mounting sheet that helps you insert the cover sheet, and more importantly helps to keep it centered in the binder cover. We designed he custom mounting sheet as we noticed that a lot of view binders on the market lets you insert a cover sheet, but more often than not the cover sheet will move over time and be misaligned. As professionals we understand the importance of appearances and having a presentation with a slated cover sheet does not portray professionalism, so we wanted to fix that.<br />
<br />
Each mounting sheet is designed with 'tabs' that will hold you cover sheet in place. Simply lift up the tabs and slide your covers sheet under them to keep it secured. It may sound difficult at first, but it's definitely very user friendly and once you <a href="https://youtu.be/1q3mVmaz0ig?t=49s" target="_blank">see how it works</a> you'll be able to use the mounting sheet without any problem. <br />
<br />
Like we said, we designed the Zen Binders with the intention to help you improve the appearances of your presentations. We accomplish that by including mounting sheets for each binder you purchase. To help even more, we've also created kits that you can purchase and use immediately as presentations.<br />
<br />
Each kit includes:<br />
<ol>
<li>A White Zen View Binder (and it's mounting sheet of course)</li>
<li>Matching sheet protectors (quantity will vary depending on the size of the binder you need)</li>

It's sort of been our identity. This time around though, we are offering a all new binder that is yet again focused on functionality, but also with style and a bit of fun in it.<br />
<br />
We are proud to introduce the <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/White-Zen-View-Binders-s/126.htm" target="_blank">White Zen View Binders</a>. As the name suggests, these binders are in white - a great contrast to our existing line of binders for those who are seeking for a bit of alternative. Furthermore, a new function or feature that we've added to the binder is a clear front cover pocket.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</map></div>
<br />
What this clear front cover pocket does is it lets you insert a cover sheet for the binder. This cover sheet lets your to easy identify what the contents are inside the binder. For example if it's a presentation binder then you'll definitely want to have a cover sheet identifying the subject, who the presenters are, etc. On the other hand, if it's not a presentation binder but perhaps used for something less formal like a school binder then you can even have your kids or students to create their own cover sheet and insert them into the pocket. It's really is all up to your own creativity. Each binder can be unique with their own cover sheet and that's what we want you to enjoy. The process of creating something unique and personal or professional to be used.<br />
<br />
Other than adding the cover pocket to the binder, we've also designed a mounting sheet that will help keep the cover sheet centered when inside the pocket. This is a custom designed mounting sheet that you cannot buy elsewhere. We've spent time and paid great attention to the details of the mounting sheet to make sure it fits perfectly into the cover pocket. What we've done is used 'ears' on the mounting sheet that you can place your cover sheet into. These 'ears' will make sure your cover sheet is secured and centered at all times.<br />

With the our recent website revamp, we hope to have improved what was already a great experience to an even better one.<br />
<br />
How a website function is only one part of that experience. There are other aspects such as special offers and deals that will make your shopping experience with us even better. One particular 'deal' that has always been with us but perhaps sometimes forgotten is our 'Quantity Discount' deal. This discount is a great way for shoppers to save a few more bucks if they buy products in larger quantities. Each product offers a different Quantity Discount so make sure you check the details of each product to know how many you must purchase before the discount applies. While not all products have a Quantity Discount, we've tried to make it available for most of them. If available, the details are always listed in a table on the right of the product page next to the price of the product.<br />
<br />
<u><b>Group Buy</b></u><br />
<br />
As the discount name implies, Quantity Discount only applies when a product is purchased in larger quantities. While this might be useful for customers that uses a lot of binders and sheet protectors, the average shopper that tends to only buy 1-2 binders or 2-3 packs of sheet protectors at a time can also make use of this discount if they are able to group their purchases. Perhaps you know have a friend or a neighbor that also needs to get several binders and packs of sheet protectors. Maybe you're in a homeschool community and your homeschool group needs to restock on binders and sheet protectors.<br />
<br />
Then what you can do is assign an individual as the buyer, and he or she will write down the total number of binders and sheet protectors that the whole group needs and place the order online with us. This way, you can get the Quantity Discount for the products you're ordering plus since your order is now larger, you will most probably reach the $50 mark for free shipping which is always nice! Of course, once this selected individual receives the products from us, he or she will have to pass them along to the rest of the group. If you're together in a community, are neighbors or friends, then this won't be too hard to work out yourselves. <br />
<br />
We understand our shipping rates can be high especially if you're only buying one binder or a pack of sheet protectors. Unfortunately, it is out of our control with the way shipping rates are increasing each year. We also understand that it might seem ridiculous to pay $14 shipping for a $5 product, but shipping rates are not calculated based on the value of a product. It's based on the size and weight. That is why we offer the Quantity Discount, to encourage you and provide an incentive to purchase more of a product and reach the free shipping mark of $50.<br />
<br />
Remember to check each individual product for Quantity Discount details. Quantity Discount is not offered on all products.<br />
<br />

We felt like it was time to change things as the old website was starting to be a bit outdated in terms of its look, design and feel. Furthermore, we felt like we could really change the website to help enhance the overall shopping experience, making it much easier and enjoyable to shop at Keepfiling.com.<br />
<br />
Here's what we've changed and why we changed it.<br />
<ol>
<li><b>Larger Pictures</b><br /><br />The previous Keepfiling website used smaller thumbnails and product pictures due to the layout constraints. Now, we’ve made them larger so it’s easier for you to see them. We understand most users will react to pictures first, compared to text. So we wanted the pictures to standout more and be able to catch your attention first. We also understand that it’s important to have good pictures because it gives you the first impression on how the products actually are. This is especially important as an ecommerce site because you are unable to touch and feel the actual product, so the picture must offer a good first impression. We believe the use of larger thumbnails and product pictures offer you a better first impression of our binders and sheet protectors.<br /></li>
<li><b>Top Down Top Navigation</b><br /><br />Navigation is an important part of any website. In the past, we utilized
a left side navigation menu to direct visitor to the different category
of products we have. In our new design, we’ve opted for a simpler top
drop down navigation for our main menu which is more stylish and more
importantly, much easier to see and use. This new top menu directs you
to the main categories that our products are divided into. If the main
category is divided into several other sub categories, than a drop down
will appear when you hover over the main category.<br /><br />Once you’ve selected a category, you will notice that the left
navigation is still active. This is to make is easier for you to know
which category you are browsing at the moment. You will see that if,
for example you are in the landscape section of the sheet protectors,
the left navigation will expand accordingly to reflect your location.
It’s another feature that we believe will enhance your overall shopping
experience, making is easier to know where you are and to browse
different products. <br /></li>
<li><b>New Search Bar</b><br /><br />The search bar is not located on the
top right corner (next to the shopping cart icon). In the past, the
search bar was placed along the left navigation in between two menus
which sometimes was overlooked and was not utilized enough by our
visitors. That is why we’ve now decided to move it to a more obvious
and easily accessible place. We want to encourage visitors to use the
search bar so they can quickly find what they are looking for.<br /><b><br /></b></li>
<li><b>Separate Login Menu for Returning Customer</b><br /><br />To
help our valued returning customers, a new My Account menu is featured
on the top left corner of the website. This gives quick access to you
for logging in and tracking your orders. Your login email and passwords
remain the same. If you have forgotten your password, you can retrieve
it by clicking the 'Forget your password?' link on the login page. For
new customers, we encourage you to create an account with us so that
it’s easier for you to track orders, and place orders again with us
since we know you’ll love our products and come back again.<br /></li>
<li><b>Overall Design</b> <br /><br />It
was time for a change. We've managed to keep and integrate several
aspects from our old website into the new design. For example we've
kept our signature blue as the main color theme.</li>
</ol>
We hope you enjoy the new website and find your experience at Keepfiling.com a fun and enjoyable one. If you'd like to share your thoughts and experience to us with the new website, or if you have any questions, feel free to drop us an email! We appreciate all your comments and will be sure to get back to you if you have questions or concerns.

Not Quite Yet. Since the creation of computer and electronics, it was widely believed that an office without papers was only years away based on the potential of technology. The term 'Paperless Office' was coined as early as the 1970s, but it seems like we are still far way from it.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">Will there be a 'Paperless Office' one day? Will the use of paper be</span></i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-size: x-small;">reduced to for us to make paper airplanes for fun only? </span></i></div>
<br />
According to Wrap (Waste and Resources Action Programme), the average officer worker uses 45 sheets of paper per day (source: <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32130647" target="_blank">BBC</a>). These can be notes taken, presentations printed, tables, charts, etc. While there has been an effort reduce paper production for environmental sake, the use of paper in the office is still a significant part of every work. There seems to be a more human element in writing down notes, rather than typing on keyboards. There's also the fact that it costs much less to put a pen and paper into an employees hand for note taking, compared to a computer.<br />
<br />
Outside of the office, you can also start to notice the decrease in the use of paper. If you observe during commuting hours, more people are reading news on their phones or tablets rather than from newspapers. Train tickets are slowly being replaced by electronic passes for convenience. Even for longer travels, plane tickets can be issued electronically for awhile now, and you're now starting to even see boarding passes becoming electronic. The Government as well have reduced paper usage by offering electronic services like filing in tax returns electronically. It's pretty evident that there is a wide spread effort in trying to reduce the usage of paper, whether it's because of environmental reasons or for increased efficiency. Yet it is believed that paper will always be a vital part of our lives no matter how hard we try to replace it electronically.<br />
<br />
Take for example how Moleskin, a market leader in notebooks, have adopted their products to the electronic word. Moleskin believes there is still a fundamental human part in writing notes down rather than typing them out on keyboards. That is why in 2012, they teamed up with Evernote to create a digital notebook. This notebook is like every other notebook you've seen or owned. It has a cover and more importantly, paper for you to write on. The catch here is that each page can be photographed and transferred to the Evernote app that will catalog and make it's contents searchable. This is done through the use of special paper that is written on like any normal paper, but is capable of capturing and recognizing handwriting along with smart stickers for sorting.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxklebWKRt9m1nULKp9cAUBVlV9zzJKpYeFvob3CgxCyQst_eiB90s_exvdycp3n5rL0AK-H1eHf1iEY9SF2t6gv5kdVHhUG9dYcB-VuxnZSJd8eJ1moTEIjzLNO0O6MZ0-7pX/s1600/evernote_230.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxklebWKRt9m1nULKp9cAUBVlV9zzJKpYeFvob3CgxCyQst_eiB90s_exvdycp3n5rL0AK-H1eHf1iEY9SF2t6gv5kdVHhUG9dYcB-VuxnZSJd8eJ1moTEIjzLNO0O6MZ0-7pX/s1600/evernote_230.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"> <i>Moleskin Evernote - source: <a href="http://www.moleskin.com/">www.moleskin.com</a></i></span></div>
<br />
Since Moleskin's creation, many have followed suit in creating 'digital' notebooks that allows us to preserve the human aspect of writing, and at the same time adopt to the technology that is improving and making our lives more convenient.<br />
<br />
So is there really ever going to be a 'Paperless Office'? Who knows. While it seems like it is the smart way to approach things where there is less paper to handle, and together with environmental concerns, it only seems like it's the way to go. But it can't be denied that there is a large human aspect in note taking that becomes missing when it is done digitally. For the moment, I believe paper will stick around for a bit longer, and for as long as they exist <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/" target="_blank">Keepfiling</a> will be in business providing <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Binders-s/21.htm" target="_blank">binders</a> and <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Sheet-Protectors-s/1.htm" target="_blank">sheet protectors</a> to help make organizing easier.<br />

</xml><![endif]-->
Ever wondered what's it like in the old days when there wasn't monitors,
computers or smartphones for you to check the timetables and schedules of
trains, ferries, or even for airplanes? Today you can probably find the
timetables for any transportation at the tip of your fingers. However, in
the past, most of this information are actually printed out onto paper and
posted or passed out to passengers and employees so they can have this
information on hand. A lot of these timetables are actually very valuable,
in the sense that there is a lot of history that goes with these timetables,
and a lot can be learned from studying them. That is why it's become a
hobby for some people to collect these timetables. Today there is even a
<a href="http://www.naotc.org/" target="_blank">National Association of Timetable Collectors</a> that brings together timetable
collectors to share their collections and experiences with each
other.<br />
<br />
It all started in 1962 when a group of 12 men formed the association after Howard
Sanford posted in a railroad magazine asking if others were interested in
collecting timetables together. Since then, the association has seen both
a drop and raise in its number of members. However, even till today, the
association is active and brings all sorts of timetable collectors together,
not just railroad, but also expanding to other transportation like ferries and
airlines. <br />
<br />
At first, it might seem like such a boring hobby to have - collecting a
piece of paper with times on it for when and where trainings are leaving.
Trust me, we were just as shocked and found it surprising when we had a
customer reviewed our products and said it was a good fit for their timetable
collections.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They call a lot of these
timetables ‘horse blankets’ (we have no idea why).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>However, as
we looked into it, we realized that it's not as boring and there is actually an
importance to it because there is just so much knowledge in them that it can
teach us about the past and help as preserve a bit of history.<br />
<br />
As it turns out, a lot of these railroad timetables were printed on larger
paper like <a alt="Keepfiling 11x17 Tabloid Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/11-x-17-Portrait-Sheet-Protectors-p/13503.htm" target="_blank">11 x 17</a>, <a alt="Keepfiling 13x19 Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/13-x-19-Portrait-Sheet-Protectors-p/11319.htm" target="_blank">13 x 19</a> and <a alt="Keepfiling 14x17 Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/14-x-17-Portrait-Sheet-Protectors-p/11417.htm" target="_blank">14 x 17</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>A guess is that the larger paper allows for more information to be
printed on the timetable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> Printed i</span>n these
timetables are very vintage design works and graphics that are great to collect
and preserve.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What’s also valuable is
the information it has, and what it can tell us about the history during those
times like how population increased in one area coincidently after a train
station is established in that area.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
A lot of the said timetables are from many years ago and if you happen to
find any of them now, they are probably in very poor conditions depending on
how they’ve been archived.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our acid free
sheet protectors are perfect for archiving these timetables.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>You also don’t find a lot of sheet protectors
in the sizes that these timetables are printed on – again like <a alt="Keepfiling 11x17 Binders and Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/11-x-17-Organizer-s/63.htm" target="_blank">11x17</a>, <a alt="Keepfiling 13x19 Binders and Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/13-x-19-Super-B-s/65.htm" target="_blank">13x19</a>,
and <a alt="Keepfiling 14x17 Binders and Sheet Protectors" href="http://www.keepfiling.com/14-x-17-Art-Size-s/66.htm" target="_blank">14x17</a> which of course are all available with <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/" target="_blank">Keepfiling</a>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, we don’t only have sheet
protectors in those sizes, but also binders that you can get to organize the
sheet protectors into.<br />

Not to sell ourselves short, but every now and then we learn something new

to share them with you because maybe you can use them in the same way.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />

Music CD are still being produced. Movies and games are still released onto DVD and Blu-ray. Some offices still backup their documents onto CD/DVD as a backup to the backup in case hard drives become faulty. So there are still uses for CD and DVDs, and when there is a use for it, there is also a need for organizing them.<br />
<br />
You want to be able to store and organize your music and movies neatly without taking up too much space, but that's hard to do because of the bulky jewel and DVD boxes. Or you might want to keep a copy of your document with the CD/DVD but you can't because there is no proper way to do it. Well what if I told you here at Keepfiling we have exactly all the products you need for keeping CD and DVDs organized?<br />
<br />
Here are the 5 must have CD and DVD organizing products from Keepfiling.<br />

Ever had to hand in your homework in a printed copy and also a CD version? Or did you want to keep a printed version of a document together with the CD copy? If yes, then you'll understand how difficult it can be sometimes to keep those things together. If you just use a regular sheet protector and drop the CD into it together with your document, you run the risk of the CD falling out at some point if you're not careful. If you want to protect the disc a little more, you might put it into a jewel box first before into the sheet protector, but then because the jewel box is so bulky it sometimes ruins the sheet protector. If those are some of the problems you run into, then Keepfiling has a solution for you - the CD & Document Sheet Protector. <br />

Don't hesitate and shop now, it's your chance to start the New Year by saving some money!

You may think just buying a binder is enough to keep your documents safe, but that’s not true. Without sheet protectors, you’re going to have to punch holes into your paper and that itself will already damage the paper. On top of that, without sheet protectors, your papers are not protected from possible spillages like when you accidentally knock over your beverage cup. With sheet protectors you can also keep dusts and dirty fingerprints off your paper. Only when binders and sheet protectors are used together, then you will have the best possible solution for organizing and protecting your papers.<br />
<br />
With that in mind, it’s also important that your binder and sheet protectors to be for fitted for each other. This means having a binder where there is enough space so that the sheet protectors don’t stick out from the edges. If sheet protectors start sticking out from the edge then they are exposed and could endure damages.<br />
<br />
So how do you make sure your binders and sheet protectors are fitted for each other? You might have to shop around a long time to find the right binder.<br />
<br />
With Keepfiling, you don’t have to shop around. We offer matching binders and sheet protectors that will fit each other perfectly. They are offered in we call Combos as to make your shopping experience with us as simple and hassle free as possible. With every combo, you will get one binder plus 1-3 packs of matching sheet protectors (the number of packs depends on each Combo specifically). As our binders and sheet protectors are designed specifically for each other, they will fit perfectly with just enough space for the sheet protectors to be stored within the binder borders. Your documents will not stick out from the binder edges, nor will the binder be too big for the sheet protectors and become too unhandy and heavy for you to handle. Furthermore, we’ve also made sure that there is just enough space for you to add indexing tabs on your sheet protectors. Tabs won’t stick over the side and be protected as well.<br />
<br />

<br />
One of the most common questions we get from our customers is if a certain type of sheet protector will fit with the binder. The answer is yes they do. All binders and sheet protectors are designed by Keepfiling, therefore we have total control over their dimensions. With sheet protectors, not only do we take into account of the actual paper size but we add just enough room to the sheet protector size so that it’s very easy for our customers to slide in their paper. This extra space could just be a mere extra 1/8 of an inch, but is a huge difference in making sure it’s easy to slide paper in while at the same time stay nicely tucked in with the sheet protector. As for binders, we specify the dimensions so that there is always a bit of extra room all around so that the sheets won’t stick out from the binder, either from the sides or from the bottom. And this extra room we give is also just enough so that you can add tabs to the sheet protectors if you wish to index the contents.<br />

As much as binder and sheet protectors are used for organizing, they also serve as great tools for people to archive and store memorable or important documents for a long period of time. A part from binders and sheet protectors, other environmental factors also contribute to archival safety.<br />
<br />
Let’s look at sheet protectors first. In terms of archival safety this refers to the ability the sheet protector can effectively protect whatever it is that you are storing inside, whether it’s documents or photographs. This might sound very simple and on a general level, you may assume all sheet protectors should be able to do just that. However, on a more technical level, you will find out that in fact not all sheet protectors are archival safe. In order to be actually archival safe, sheet protectors should be chemically-stable with a neutral or slightly basic pH level. In science, pH levels refer to how acidic or basic something is. So with a neutral or slight basic pH level, that means sheet protectors should be ‘acid free’. This is important because being ‘acid free’ means your documents won’t be damaged by any erosion that may happen to the sheet protector over long periods of time.<br />
<br />
Having said that, now you might be asking the question “With all the sheet protectors out on the market, how do I really know if they are acid free or not?” The answer to that question is - materials. There are several types of materials that are used to make sheet protectors:<br />
<ol>
<li>Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) </li>
<li>Polyethylene (PE) </li>
<li>Polyester (Mylar) </li>
<li>Polypropylene (PP) </li>
</ol>
Of the four materials, you should avoid PVC as it is considered to be non-archival safe while the other three are archival safe and each has their pros and cons.<br />
<br />
<b>So Why Not PVC? </b><br />
<br />
The reason why PVC is considered non-archival safe is because it contains plasticizers. Plasticizer is a substance that is added to PVC during production to increase its flexibility and durability. There are over 300 different kinds of plasticizers - 50-100 are used commercially. These plasticizers will emit damaging hydrochloric acids as it deteriorates, therefore ruining both the sheet protector and the document inside. If you place photographs or other important documents into PVC sheet protectors, overtime you might notice damages like colors or ink from the photo and documents sticking to the sheet protector. This is a disastrous scenario as it is almost impossible to restore a photo with its color faded or ruined by acids emitted from the plasticizers used in PVC sheet protectors. <b>Remember, PVC sheet protectors are NON-ARCHIVAL SAFE and should be avoided at all times.</b><br />
<br />
The two images below shows exactly how PVC sheet protectors can cause irreversible damage. As you can see from the image on the right, the red ink on the paper had faded. On the left you see the PVC sheet protector with the red ink marks from the document. What happened is basically the paper got stuck to the sheet protector and when you try to take the paper out, the ink is 'pulled' from the paper onto the sheet protector. This can be a disastrous situation if you have precious memorable photos placed in PVC sheet protectors and over time they can be ruined just like this document. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>- PVC sheet protector and document ruined</i></div>
<br />
On another note, PVC is also used to make things like toys, clothing and other daily applications. There have been reports that show some plasticizers have a high level of toxicity in them and may even be a cause for cancer, therefore raising considerable amount of health concerns. Some countries even ban the use of PVC. While it seems like the plasticizers used in PVC for sheet protectors are not as dangerous, it is still something to keep in mind.<br />
<br />
<b>So What is Archival Safe? </b><br />
<br />
As mentioned early, of the four types of materials, only polyethylene (PE), polyester (Mylar), and polypropylene (PP) are archival safe. The reason is because they do not contain plasticizers and in general have a neutral or slightly basic pH level. This means they are acid free and is important because remember, acids will cause damage to paper causing them to turn yellow and become brittle and fragile.<br />
<br />
So now you might be wondering, if all three materials are archival safe then which one should you use? The answer to that is it depends on what you need the sheet protectors for.<br />
<br />
Polyethylene sheet protectors are the cheapest of all three. However, the quality of the sheet protectors is not that great. They usually are softer, less durable, and their finish is not as clear so it makes it hard to read the document that is inside. If you’re in need of cheap sheet protectors just to store regular paper and don’t mind poor quality then polyethylene is your kind of sheet protector.<br />
<br />
Polyester, or Mylar, on the other hand is the most expensive kind of all three. In fact, it's so expensive to manufacture, only a hand full of companies actual offer polyester sheet protectors. Being so expensive, of course you should expect to get high quality sheet protectors that are durable, have a great feel and texture to it, and are crystal clear so it makes it very easy to view the contents inside. These are the sheet protectors you get if you want to protect and showcase your artworks, and of course if you have the money to spend.<br />
<br />
The last type, polypropylene, is probably the most ideal sheet protector type. They are economical and comes in good quality –durable, clear and of course, again, archival safe. They are the most common type of sheet protectors used today and note that <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Sheet-Protectors-s/1.htm" target="_blank"><b>all Keepfiling sheet protectors are made from polypropylene</b></a>.<br />

Throughout a school year, teachers will give out dozens of handouts like school materials or even administrative documents for parents. If you don't have a system for your kids or yourself to keep these papers organized then you could be in a lot of trouble.<br />
<br />
Being organized is important and helpful because it saves a lot of time. If you have a binder to put the handouts in then you won't lose them, or you will know where to find them when you need them for studying. You might also consider using sheet protectors as well to protect these
handout and prevent them from getting dirty and ruined.<br />
<br />
An 'organizing system' does not have to be complicated. It can be as simple as having different binders for different subjects, but if you don't want so many binders then you can have indexing system for one binder and split it's contents into different subjects. For example you can have 5 individual binders for English, Math, History, Science, and Social Science, or you can have one binder and use indexing tabs to divide the different subjects. <br />
<br />
Keepfiling has always emphasized the importance of being organized, and all our products are aimed to help make organizing easier for our customers. This time of the year is important for parents who are preparing their kids to go back to school, so we came up with 10 of our products that we think you should get for your kids for the upcoming school year and help them keep things organized.<br />

This is mainly because the general public assumes that they all come in the portrait orientation – which is the standard orientation for most documents; letters, contracts, application forms, handouts/flyers, etc. all usually come in the portrait format. That’s why most binders are portrait so that it can be used to organize these documents. The orientation opposite of portrait is landscape. This orientation is not as common, but is used in several other situations and can be just as useful. For example, people use the orientation for charts, graphs, or spreadsheets.<br />
<br />
In terms of binders, there is not a lot of selection when it comes to binders in landscape formats. Although people use landscape documents, landscape binders are somewhat hard to find. You’ll be surprised at how many brands actually offer landscape binders for the typical sizes like the letter size or legal size, let along the odd sizes like 17x11 or 14x11. However, you will find that at Keepfiling we offer landscape binders in several sizes, at a very reasonable price.<br />
<br />
Currently Keepfiling has <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Landscape-Binders-s/82.htm" target="_blank">landscape binders</a> available for the <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/11-x-8-1-2-Letter-Size-Landscape-s/64.htm" target="_blank">letter size</a> and <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/17-x-11-Landscape-Size-s/25.htm" target="_blank">17x11 papers</a>. We will add to the collection a legal size and 14x11 landscape binder in the coming month, so stay tuned!<br />

<br />
When talking about landscape orientation documents, most people would associate them to artworks like paintings and drawings, or business documents like organization charts, graphs, or spreadsheets. This is because landscape paper provides a wide canvas or space to display their works. For example a painter might be painting the skyline of Chicago, and working on a landscape paper allows him to capture more of the skyline at once than compared to if he was using a portrait paper. Same with businesses, the extra width allows for more information to be display at once like on a spreadsheet with a lot of columns of data. Artists can use the landscape binder as a portfolio to showcase their artwork. Businesses can use the landscape binder as a report to show their numbers, calculations, graphs, charts, etc.<br />
<br />
You can also use landscape binders to organize genealogy documents like a family tree, which similar to a business organization charts, can become very wide as you continue down from the top of the chart to the bottom. Another way that you can use the landscape binders is to help organize timetables or schedules. You can fit more information on a timetable or schedule that is printed on landscape paper. Then you can use binders to keep track of these timetables and schedules as reference or just for record.
So you ask, landscape or portrait? Well it really depends on what you’re trying to achieve.<br />
<br />
Not only does binders and sheet protectors come in different orientations, but also computer monitors nowadays are suited for both landscape and portrait orientation. Monitors are generally of landscape orientation. The landscape view gives viewers more information to view at once without having to scroll down pages, compared to if monitors were in portrait orientation. However, today, there are monitors can be rotated from landscape orientation to portrait orientation. This gives users, especially editors for magazines and other booklets, a ‘true’ view of the page under portrait orientation. Even TV monitors today are made in the landscape format, as compared to the box shape that they use to be in.<br />

Ring binders have come a long way since it was first invented. There have been design changes to the ring itself, and also to the materials used to make the binders. People also use binders now for a different reason compared to when it was first invented. Let’s take a quick look at whom, when, and why it was first invited. Then we will share with you 10 ways how ring binders are used today.<br />
<br />
<b>Brief History </b><br />
<b> </b>
<br />
History has it that ring binders were first invited by a German entrepreneur and inventor Friedrich Soennecken in 1886. He was an office supplier in his home town and was keen on creating his on inventions. He registered a <a href="http://www.google.com/patents/US778910" target="_blank">patent for his design</a> which was of a 2-ring mechanism that would open and close using a lever. By pulling the lever up the rings would open, and then close when you push the lever down. Soennecken would later also invent and registered a patent for his hole punching invention. Of course, this hole puncher was in a part the result of his ring binder invention because holes needed to be punched into papers in order for them to be inserted into the binders.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
(Although hole punchers are still being used today, many are started to prefer using sheet protectors. With sheet protectors you don’t need to damage your papers with punching holes into them, and it also adds an extra level of protection to your papers.)<br />
<br />
In the US, loose-leaf paper was becoming a popular thing in the 1854. Instead of notebooks, people started using loose-leaf papers because they thought it was more convenient. It didn't take too long for those same people to realize that using loose-leaf paper was actually more inconvenient - especially when the papers accumulate over time and people started losing pages. They needed something to organize these loose papers, and that is when Henry T. Sisson from Providence, Rhode Island came up with his ring binder designer. He recognized the need for something to protect and organize these papers. It wasn't until 1899 when he finally perfected his design and a binder was available for purchase on the market. The Chicago Binder and File Company was one of the first companies to sell binders. There were 2 types of designs – a 2-ring binder and a 3-ring binder. Most were selling 2-ring binders in the beginning but later more 3-rings were sold because it did a better job of holding papers in place.<br />

<br />
Over these 100+ years, binders have changed tremendously. Original binders were made from heavy cardboard-like material and their rings were made of cold rolled steel. First it was the 2-ring design, and then there was the 3-ring. The Swedish also came up with a 4-ring design of their own. And now today there are even binders with multiple rings (spiral binders), and ones that don’t use rings (post-bound or strap-hinge binders). Now we have binders made in all sorts of materials like plastics, cardboards, metals, fabrics, etc. In the past, because loose leaf paper was only available in letter size so therefore binders were only made in that size. Today binders are available in all types of sizes as different size loose leaf papers became available. We have small ones like 5.5x8.5, to even bigger ones like13x19 and 14x17. What’s also different with binders today is that they are not only for storing loose leaf paper anymore. They can be used for various different purposes. Some people use them for photo albums, some for portfolios, some of organizing business cards, some of CDs – basically binders have become something of a multi-purpose storage/organization tool.<br />
<br />

Just walk down any office store and you will notice all the different types of binders there are on the market today. A regular consumer might be intimidated by the wide selection and will often just go for the cheapest one available, which is not always the best solution. It is important to choose the right binder for the right purpose. If you need a presentation binder you will want something nice and thin, not a big heavy reference type binder.<br />
<br />
When buying a binder, a smart consumer will understand their need and evaluate their options before simply picking the cheapest binder available. When buying binders, there are 3 simple things you need to consider about - size, rings, and materials.<br />
<br />
<b>Size</b><br />
<br />
The size of the binder is important simply because it needs to match with the documents size you're working with. If you're organizing letter size paper then you will want a letter size binder, or if it's legal size paper then a legal size binder, and so forth. It's pretty simple, the right size binder will protect your papers. You don't want something smaller because the papers won't fit, and you don't necessary want something bigger either because even though it will protect your paper, it will be hard to handle the binder and it can be a waste of space when you're shelving them. It's important to have the right size binder for your paper. <br />
<br />
There are all sorts of binders out there today for different paper sizes. At Keepfiling we have standard types like the letter size, legal size and A4. We also have smaller ones like the Mini Binders, as well as bigger and unique sizes like 9x12, 11x17, 14x17, etc. You can check out all <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Binders-s/21.htm" target="_blank">Keepfiling Binders</a> on our website.<br />

<i><span style="font-size: x-small;"> - Keepfiling binders in different sizes; from large to small</span></i></div>
<br />
<b>Rings</b><br />
<br />
Contrary to popular belief, the capacity of a binder depends on the rings that are used and not the width of the binder spine. It's very common for consumers to think that the wider the binder spine then the more paper it will hold, but actually the capacity is based on how the ring size of the binder. There are two types of rings - O-rings and D-rings, and their ring size are measured differently. For O-rings, the ring size refers to the diameter of the ring. The wider the diameter, the more it can hold. For D-rings, the ring size refers to the height of the straight part of the ring. The longer the straight part is, the more it can hold. D-rings are sometimes offered in a slight angle, and they are called slanted D-rings. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>- Different ring types and sizes</i></span></div>
<br />
When comparing the two types of rings, apart from the obvious difference in shape, the main difference is that D-rings can hold up to 25% more than O-rings. This is important because if you are looking for a binder to organize a lot of paper, like a manual, reference binder, or archive, then you will want a thicker binder with D-rings. On the other hand, O-rings are usually found on presentation binders that are thinner and does not require a lot of capacity.<br />
<br />
Another small difference between the two rings is that O-rings are mounted onto the binder spine, while D-rings are onto the back cover of the binder which allows paper to lie flat. Some people prefer this as they think it looks nice and is more organized. All Keepfiling binders are equipped with D-rings to offer a more uniform look for organizing papers. <br />
<br />
Here is a table showing roughly the capacity a binder can hold with different ring sizes.<br />
<br />

<b>Material</b><br />
<br />
The last thing to consider when choosing a binder is the material it's made from. On the market today, manufacturers make binders from all sorts of materials to satisfy different needs and tastes from consumers. There are binders made from cardboard, plastics like vinyl or polypropylene, metals, and even from fabrics. <br />
<br />
Most binders are made with a combination of some plastic like vinyl, and some cardboard. Usually the cover of the binder is a cardboard cover with PVC plastic, while the rest is made from similar plastic. These are durable and will last you for a long time. You can use them in the office, at home, or at school and they will be just fine. They usually come in different solid colors like black, red, yellow or blue.<br />
<br />
The binder's material becomes very important if you are planning to archive your documents for a long period of time. The binder must be archival safe and even more durable than typical binders. Therefore in contrast to typical vinyl binders, Keepfiling binders are all made from polypropylene - a type of archival safe material that is strong and rigid. Instead of using a cardboard cover with PVC plastic, Keepfiling binder covers are made with 3 layers of polypropylene that is sandwiched together through a heating process. <br />
<br />
If you're looking for something more fancy like a presentation binder with more colors or patterns then maybe something of a cardboard binder is more suitable. They are usually thinner and come with fancy designs. Other materials like metals or fabrics are good as well for people who want something more stylish and will use them for things like portfolios or scrapbooks.<br />
<br />
We hope with this information, next time when you're walking down the binder aisle at an office store or shopping online with us, that you will know what you're looking for and will spend your money on the right binder instead of getting the cheapest or more expensive binders that won't last you very long or is not suitable to your needs.

<b>SPECIAL DESIGN</b><br />
<br />
Different than some of the other indexing tabs you will find on the market, Keepfiling's Sheet Protector Tabs are specially designed to work specifically with sheet protectors so that they are strong and will stick on permanently. Nothing is more frustrating than have tabs that don't stick on the right way and keeps falling off. Keepfiling Sheet Protector Tabs are super strong self-adhesive. They can be repositioned initially after you first stick them onto the sheet protector, but once after that they will stick on almost permanently unless excessive force is used to rip them off. <br />
<br />
<b>CONVENIENT AND PERSONALIZE</b><br />
<br />
As we touched on this earlier, these Tabs are not only easy and convenient to use but they also make organizing and browsing much more convenient. First you can personalize the Tabs by simply writing on to them whatever you think is appropriate. If you don't want to or don't know what to write, the Multicolor Pack can be used a color-coding option so that each color can represent a different section or category.<br />
<br />
Once you're personalized the Tabs and stuck them onto the sheet protectors, you've successfully divided your binder into sections and browsing will be much easier as you can flip through the pages using the tabs are handles and section breaks.<br />
<br />
<i>Tip: Remember to write on both sides of the Tabs so that you can still see your indexes when the pages are turned.</i><br />
<br />
<b>COMPLETE ORGANIZING SOLUTION</b><br />
<br />
With Keepfiling Sheet Protector Tabs, we offer a complete solution to help you organize or archive your documents. Remember these Tabs are designed to work with sheet protectors, therefore they will be long lasting and anyone with binders filled with sheet protectors will want to use these Tabs to help them divide and organize their binders. Also important is that Keepfiling binders are designed with extra width so that when the Tabs are stuck onto the sheet protectors they won't extend outside of the binder, but are rather tucked nicely within the binder.<br />

Well have a look below at our latest video demonstrating exactly how durable our sheet protectors are!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<object height="315" width="560"><param name="movie" value="//www.youtube.com/v/nAKlVNYUa8s?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0"></param>
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param>
<embed src="//www.youtube.com/v/nAKlVNYUa8s?hl=en_US&version=3&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="560" height="315" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>
</div>
<br />
They are made from strong polypropylene material and are not easy to break as you can see in the video when we try to split the edge with a finger. Next we open the sheet protector and attempt to punch through it from within inside - no damage done. <span id="product_description"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><span id="product_description"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"></span></span><br />
<br />
In the second part of the video we highlight the fact that our sheet protectors are pre-punched with holes to fit ring binders. There was a time when sheet protectors weren't pre-punched and you actually had to punch holes through the sheet protector and your paper in order for it to go into binders.Pre-punched sheet protectors are great because it helps avoid the problem you see in the video when you might create a mess with all the small punched put paper pieces. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><i>In this particular video we used a heavyweight letter size sheet protector punched for 3 ring binders. For some models we offer multi-punched holes to fit different ring binders like 2, 3, 4 and 5 rings. </i></span><br />
<br />
The third part of the video shows that the pre-punched holes are very strong and won't rip as easily as some other brands of sheet protectors. This is important because the stronger the holes, the more durable the sheet protectors are when it comes to turning pages. Sheet protectors with holes that break easily will often rip apart when you flip through them in a binder. With strong holes, it ensures that when you turn your pages the holes won't rip and you pages will stay intact. The holes are so strong on our sheet protectors that a single sheet can withhold the weight of the entire binder filled with pages.<br />
<br />
In the final part we demonstrate the utmost importance of sheet protectors - protecting your documents. Whether you're at home or in the office, there is always the chance of accidentally spilling water, or even worse coffee, onto your work table with all your documents on them. If you're not using sheet protectors then when you spill coffee, your document is basically ruined with coffee stains. With sheet protectors, even when you spill coffee your document is safe and won't be stained. As you can see, the sheet protector is easy to clean as well and any spills won't damage it in any way.<br />
<br />
Keeping your papers safe and clean is the number one priority for sheet protectors but we also pay attention to the details and the small things to make sure that they are of great quality and can be used for a long time.

<ol>
<li>Material type</li>
<li>Page protector finish</li>
<li>Top-loading or side-loading</li>
</ol>
<b>Material Type</b><br />
There are three types of materials that page protectors can be made from: Polyester or Mylar, Polypropylene, and Polyethylene.<br />
<br />
<i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyester" target="_blank">Polyester</a> or Mylar</i> are the best materials to protect your photographs and artwork. However, they are also the most expensive material to make page protectors from. You're looking at around $1.50/page, and they are usually sold in packs of 10. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polypropylene" target="_blank"><i>Polypropylene</i></a> is probably the most ideal type of page protector material, and is commonly used amongst scrapbook enthusiasts. They are durable and reasonably priced. Standard weight Polypropylene page protectors will work like a charm and if you want something even more durable, some brands offer them in heavyweight and super heavyweight polypropylene. <a href="http://www.keepfiling.com/Scrapbook-Page-Protectors-s/20.htm" target="_blank">Keepfiling's scrapbook page protectors</a> are all made from polypropylene. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyethylene" target="_blank"><i>Polyethylene</i></a> page protectors are the cheapest of the three. They do just as good of a job when you need to organize your scrapbook contents. However, the overall finish of the page protector is sometimes not as clean compared to polypropylene. <br />
<br />
<b>Page Protector Finish</b><br />
Although most scrapbookers will choose the clear page protectors because it obviously makes it much easier to see the contents, someone people do like to choose the non-glare because of it's subtle and subdue look. This is merely a choice of preference but it's good to know that these options are available. <i>Visit our website for more information on <a href="https://www.keepfiling.com/glass-clear-vs-non-glare-a/277.htm" target="_blank">clear versus non-glare</a>.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Top-loading or Side-Loading</b><br />
Again, this is really a choice of preference whether you like to load your pages from the side or from the top. One advantage side-loading page protectors might have is that it will probably do a better job at preventing dusts from going into your pages as you keep your scrapbooks on shelves.<br />
<br />
A Few General Rules:<br />
<ul>
<li>Always look for acid free page protectors as this helps to protect your contents. </li>
<li>STAY AWAY from magnetic, and vinyl page protectors (even if they are labelled acid free). These page protectors will almost always destroy your photos and that is not what you need. </li>
</ul>
