We purchased these knowing they were thin. However, we did not expect them to be "seconds." The white reinforcement strip was peeled up on some. Dozens of tags where the holes were punched were still attached. Some of the punched holes were puckered. Some were mis-struck or whatever the process is, so that there were folded-back areas that left holes in the sheet protectors along the binding edge. Sorry about the poor descriptions, but I'm not an engineer.
These work okay with full 8x10 or 8-1/2x11 items, but they are dreadful if you have smaller things (like, say, an index card. Unfortunately, about 60% of what we have to put in sheet protectors is 5x7 or smaller, so the sheet protectors just didn't have the "backbone" they would've gotten from a full-size item.
They also do not handle heavy pieces, such as documents that have multiple pages or thick pamphlets.
One thing we discovered is we had to "roll" the full-size pages into a U shape in order to get them in the sheet protectors because the corners would hang up in the crimped edges. It was easier to roll the paper, slide it in, then flatten it out once it was all the way in the sheet protector.
If you've got hundreds of pages of full-size material and need to conserve space in your binders, these will work. For other applications, look for a different product.
We found boxes of 200 heavy-weight Samsill brand sheet protectors at Sam's Club for $9.98. While we prefer to shop at Amazon, we've gotta go elsewhere when the price difference is this substantial. C-Line 62067 Top Loading Reduced Glare Economy Gauge Poly Sheet Protectors, 200/box
These top loading reduced glare sheet protectors are great for so many things. I was so unorganized with papers and recipes that I couldn't stand it anymore. I found these sheets, not expecting too much for the price of 200 sheets but I was pleasantly surprised how thin but sturdy they are. I put important papers in them and then in a binder so i can find them and I have organized all my recipes organized by catagory and in binders so they are easy to find. I even use them for pictures. Delivery was quick and in great shape when it got here. - Page Protector'
