As a busy working musician, I used to lug doxens of HEAVY music song books to my performances. Now, I simply cut out only the music pages of songs that I perform from each thick music book, trim the page and slide the sheet music into the Staples Heavy-Duty Sheet protector...and place only those songs into individual 3-ring binders...and label each 3-ring binder by type of music, i.e., Christmas Songs, Wedding Songs, Romantic Songs, Most-Requested Songs, etc. Then I type an alphabetical "Contents" page for each 3-ring binder and place the Contents Page in the front of each 3-ring binder. Now I can quickly find and perform any requested melodies...without my sheet music becoming dog-eared, torn or stained. I recommend Staples Heavy-Duty Sheet Protectors to anyone who wants to organize and protect selected printed pages that will fit into these protectr sheets.

Upon opening the box and inserting a few pages into the plastic (fairly easy to do, no problems there) I recall wondering just what the thickness of the plastic actually was. I wanted long-term document protection for frequently used papers. Upon measuring the thickness, I found it to be in no case thicker than 3.2 mils, and more usually 3.0 to 3.1.Okay, that's nit-picking, you say, and I wouldn't have said anything and would have bought them anyway if they had been advertised as being 3.1 mils, but they weren't. They are, on average, slightly less than 10 percent thinner than they should be. [...]

          Comments about Staples® Heavy-Duty Sheet Protectors:

          I purchased the sheet protectors for archival storage of old documents, old pictures that date back to the 1870's and up to the present. Also, as a genealogist, to store and preserve genealogy records that has taken me years to search, gather, and write for my family and future generations to cherish for years to come. Because of the acid free, archival quality of the sheet protectors along with the thickness and clearness of quality,I feel confident that my great grandchildren,will be able to explore their heritage.

              These sheet protectors are archival quality. They are not foggy, however, the Avery Crystal clear would be of clearer quality.

              A:

              8.5x11 is correct because when specifying any stationery product the dimension that is considered to be the top should be stated first.

              A:

              I work in the envelope field, and some companies always list the size as height first and then width ( left to right.) I don't think it has to do with where the opening is, or what you are insering into them.

              They are 8.5 X 11, like a sheet of paper orientated portrait style, opposed to landscape style.

              A:

              The first # in the series may denote the side of the sheet protector that is open - i.e., if 11x8.5, protector may be open on the 11" / long side. I know the ones labeled 8.5x11 open at the top, the 8.5" dimension. Hope that helps.

              A:

              The heavy duty protectors are really rugid and can be used with dividers. We like to keep the first articles up front so that what we put in is like reading a book from front to back. We use Avery 3" binders, but you could use any available size you like. Both binders and protectors are very sturdy.

              A:

              Yes you can use with dividers but you need the kind that are sticky. Just stick them right to one of the sheet protectors and it will work perfect! As for binders, I like the kind with the dual folding cover ( the 3 rings are mounted to the back of the cover and do not move) I find these work the best.
