I'm the kind of teacher who may lug a set of papers from school to home and back two times before they get corrected and graded, and needed a better way to keep them neat and organized- I love these because they have also saved several sets pristine even after an unfortunate incident involving a travel mug in my work bag. These are great! Inexpensive, transparent, colored, and sturdy. Now a staple. Smead 89501 Campus.org Poly Color Envelopes - 5 Pack, Assorted Colors
I liked them so much, I ordered a 2nd set. They do come in a 5 pack, in the variety of colors shown. They hold your standard letter sized papers, documents, etc...They do expand reasonably and are extremely functional. I wouldn't use them for everyday as much as I would for storing and organizing important papers (tax stuff, car stuff, etc..). I like that the poly material is of fair quality and transparent. And consider you get 5 for $3.50 with free shipping. That's not bad.
I purchased these on sale for storing insurance and other papers by calendar year. The string that is used to secure the flap is of good quality, I appreciate the see through aspect and variety of colors. Recommend.
These envelopes are great, except for one thing. The product description gives 2 inches as the expansion size, when it is actually 1 1/4 inches. Other than that, they are sturdy and useful for any number of things. They keep things clean and organized. Being transparent is a definite plus - you know exactly what each envelope contains without having to label them or open them and you can use the colors as a coding system.
i love these folders, very colorful, def a huge plus they are see through! however, this product got a four star from me because the material is flimsy, very thin feeling. i have been handling them delicately just in case they may rip, but otherwise very good and esp. for the price they're going for, it's worth it.
love the ease of these envelopes, also since they are in different colors I can sort my personal bills from important legal docs to company use etc. It can hold lot of documents/papers. The cost is very reasonable -- didn't find anything like this at staples or office depot.
Bought this as I have to carry different document for weeks in the backpack. These envelopes helps to keep my backpack organized.
Few months since I bought it, so far its working great. Good value for money at dollar 3.5.
Mar/2010: I will be ordering another set it is very useful.
These folders are absolutely perfect! Being self-employed, I have to keep track of all of the documents I can concerning taxes. These folders will hold an entire year's worth of financial documents with no problem, and since they're transparent, I can easily see what year the documents are from. Then when tax time comes along, there's no hunting for misplaced utility bills. I just hand a folder to the guy who does my taxes and everything is there in one nice, neat package.
The material these things are made out of is very thin plastic. They seem to be fairly sturdy, however, and not easily torn to bits.
This is a great buy if you want to stay organized.
I love these envelopes. They make it so much easier to keep things organized. I can get all related papers together and make related notes on a sheet of paper and put them all in the envelope. I can then read the notes through the envelope without having to remove everything else. I just love these and I'm getting myself more.
I needed something to qualify for free shipping and I knew I would need some of these envelopes in the near future. The price is unbeatable and the quality is very good. These are not flimsy and will not rip. Of course, I've seen better quality but at higher prices. For about eighty cents a folder, this is a great value. You can load these up with documents, letters, etc. and they will hold. I like how the colors are transparent so you can easily distinguish the contents.
Great buy, very happy. - Project Folders - Folders - Smead - File'
