Five Star Zipper Binder, 2 Inch 3-Ring Binder with Round Rings, Expansion Panel and 5-Tab Expanding File, 580 Sheet Capacity, Black (29052IT8)

I've had various Five-Star binders throughout my life. I could have sworn that they were developed by Mead but I'm not sure if they are. The last time I used these types of binders was when I went to college, I've been out of college for nearly a decade, however, I constantly find use for items that I may be done using, I use binders to hold my card collections. If you are looking for a well-made binder to protect your cards, then you will like this product. The product has a very strong front and back cover, it feels like it can take a beating for days on end.The 2-inch rings feel nice and solid; I haven't had any issues with the rings not aligning at all. This type of binder has built in folders for easy organizing, for those who are needing to keep their paperwork nicely organized. When it comes to functionality, this binder has a total of two pockets that can be zipped. The size of this binder is perfect for those who are collecting cards or going to school. If you need to close your binder, the zipper does an awesome job, I haven't had any issues with them at all so far. One addition to these binders that I never had when I was in school was that these binders now come with a carrying handle, having a carrying handle really helps with the functionality. If I had this type of binder when I went to school in the 1980's and 1990's I would have really appreciated the handle to hold my binder.Overall, I give this binder 5 stars because I've had literally no issues with the "Five-Star" brand binders every time I bought them.

My niece, who’s in 7th grade, has been using this Five Star Zipper Binder for all her classes, and she also used it throughout 6th grade. It lasted her the entire school year both years without any issues. The quality is really good, the materials feel sturdy and durable enough to handle daily use.With the 2-inch capacity and 5-tab expanding file, it’s nice to have everything in one place: papers, notes, and handouts stay organized and secure inside. The zipper closure keeps everything safe and prevents pages from slipping out.The round rings open and close smoothly, making it easy for her to add or remove papers as needed. The black and gray design is simple and professional, so it works well for school or even for work.Overall, this binder is a reliable choice for students who want to stay organized throughout the year without worrying about wear and tear.

Perfect for my new middle schooler! He likes all of the storage and features. Seems sturdy enough to withstand the school year. The handle is more heavy duty than I expected, and I’m happy with it.

It lasted 1 school year with a 14 year old. Good enough.

I bought this for my son to use for the past two school years. He is in middle school and would much rather carry this than a backpack. He is able to keep his school supplies organized and its not too bulky for him to carry on the bus and store in his locker. He likes that it has a handle and the way it looks. It is definitely worth the amount you pay for it.

My son swears by the quality of this product, and wanted to buy the same one again if only his high school had lockers. Buy it, you will not regret it.

I don’t do reviews often but I wanted to share our experience. My high schooler loves that binder and found it easy to pull out of his backpack to pass through metal detectors. But after using for three days it’s breaking in a few areas and I’m now shopping for a replacement. This item has great reviews so maybe this one was flawed in manufacturing but I wanted to share just in case it could help anyone. Only one star for quality. Thank you

Fantastic for my middle schooler who needs help staying organized. It has enough room for 3 spiral notebooks and he can even fit his school laptop inside. Great value for the price.
