Product Review: Samsill 1-Inch Round Ring View Speedy Spine Binders

Ah Back to School- I always loved the shopping trip to buy new school supplies! Yeah, I was weird that way! LOL-but I loved the thrill of new pens, pencils and stacks of notebooks and paper, the sense of a new beginning, and the advent of Fall, my favorite season!
Miss Grace has picked up this happy feeling and we have had a good time (with the exception of having to try on uniforms-"already? ah MOM!") purchasing the supplies off her list. An item that she did not need yet was binders. However, I have looked at the piles of crafting how-tos and recipes and said, enough! The old file concept isn't working, I want a cleaner, more organized look. So when the chance to review these new Speedy Spine binders from Samsil came up, I jumped at the chance!

What makes these binders so great? Their ease of use! 

The dilemma of tight, almost impossible to insert spine graphics has plagued view binders since their inception into the office products industry. I can testify to this, as we always have to cut DOWN the templates we print out for our work binders- which is very aggravating, and time consuming! Now Speedy Spine solves that time wasting problem with their Patent Pending channel construction, that inserts 5 times faster than a traditional view binder. Because it is not sealed the same way, you actually have the right amount of space you NEED. AHA, such a simple solution! And you can personalize not only the front and spine, but the back as well! Samsill even has you covered on the templates for the personalization- you can download them off their website! Easy Peasy!



The inside rings are mounted on the back lid, to allow your pages to lie flat (a plus when using them for repeated use), and add a sleek, clear appearance with rivet less spine, for those that want to line them up on a bookshelf, and have a neat appearance! Two clear inside pockets provide extra storage for loose documents, and because they are clear, you can see what is behind them- making them perfect for presentation! And because the folder contain 45% post-consumer recycled content, you feel better about using them too! 

One of the best things about these binders if that they are a 'Binders for Life product'. That means they have a Lifetime Guarantee that says Samsil will replace them if they are  found to be defective in materials or workmanship, for the lifetime of the product (even after extended use). You gotta love that! 

And they are made in the USA, in Ft Worth, TX, so you are supporting American jobs when you purchase them! And they are a Christian company, if that is important to you. Check out their vision and quality statements- "Our ability to achieve our vision comes from the foundation laid by our core values and faith in God. Samsill promises to continuously improve the quality of our people, products and performance through God’s direction and to His glory."  

The binders come in a 6 pack from Amazon, and yes they might cost a bit more than the ones on the super sale Back to School aisle but a)they are better designed and b)they will actually LAST the whole school year! How many times had you had to replace binders mid-year and have to pay triple the price you paid at Back to School sale time? Yup, me too!

So if you are looking for a binder that will last and that is easy to personalize, think about these Samsill Speedy Spine Binders!
