The Best Binders for School
Figuring out what school supplies will best equip you for class yet still keep you within budget can be overwhelming. Cheaper isn't necessarily the way to go if you have to replace binders every other month because they easily break or fall apart. The best binders could last you a year or more.

Mead Five Star TruLock
-
This binder's slightly bendable cover gives way without breaking and consists of two vertical and two horizontal cloth pockets for a soft feel. A sliding latch unlocks the plastic rings for quiet use compared to the loud, snapping noises of traditional metal-ring binders. The binder's flexibility and plastic rings, which are less likely than metal rings to cause painful pinching when locking, make it a good fit for elementary and middle school students. The Mead Five Star TruLock comes in six assorted colors and widths of either 1-inch or 1.5-inches.
Mead Five Star Flex NoteBinder
-
The lightweight Mead Five Star Flex NoteBinder is made of flexible, versatile plastic, allowing the cover to fold over so students can use it like a notebook. It features a soft fabric spine and plastic, individually locking rings. The binder can lock up to 60 sheets of paper and hold an extra 10 sheets in each of its plastic note pockets. This binder is easy to use when taking notes and working on in-class assignments. It comes in two sizes -- large or extra large.

This is a 1-inch binder available in black or charcoal.
Avery Extra-Wide Heavy-Duty View Binder with One Touch EZD
