ACCO Pressboard Report Cover, Letter, Black, (A7025971A)

Pricey

The media could not be loaded.  I was looking for something that wouldn’t damage my loose leaf textbook because eventually turning the pages in a binder could rip the holes etc but since this folder has prongs it basically turns these loose pages into an actual textbook. I was able to put 800 pages in this and it still has space for more probably could fit up to 1000.

I HATE putting loose-leaf books in binders, the pages just don't turn right or pages get torn out or bent easy. With this though, it's a game changer.It fits my whole textbook (about 900 pages). And I was able to just put the first page on the front with contact paper. Because it's a snug fit it makes it feel like a real textbook.The only thing I would want is a piece of plastic that could be cut down to the needed size and used as a spine to protect the paper's edges.Other than that 10 outta 10 would recommend!

I know these are not expensive items; however, closure bent which is not a huge thing and cover poor quality.

I was looking for a way to store my loose-leaf textbooks that was secure, but not as bulky as a 3 ring binder. This size cover holds an entire math book (~850 pages). The cover is sturdy but still pretty flexible. The 3 hole punches in the textbook fit perfectly. I'm really happy with this purchase; I'll be using these for all my loose textbooks going forward.

Sturdy but looks like it was repaired with tape.

I've used covers like these for decades. I have printouts of scans of rare or out-of-print books, and I much prefer reading them in print rather than on screen. I have hundreds of them, and I keep them in covers like these. So I buy covers by the boxload ... when I can get them.Forty years ago, all I could get were brown pressboard covers with cloth-reinforced hinges. Gross overkill--I have NEVER had a non-reinforced cover fail at the hinges; the reinforcement is entirely superfluous.Later they became available without hinge reinforcement. These are the ones I bought by the hundred; $.59 to $.79 each at Paperama or Bradlees. Then they disappeared. (So did Paperama and Bradlees.)Somewhat later they reappeared at the office supply places. But even though grossly overpriced ($4.50 for two pieces of cardboard?), they were generally not available in the brick-and-mortar establishments; they had to be ordered, at ridiculous shipping charges. And the stupid hinge reinforcements were back.I recently found some Oxford ones on the Big Auction Site. With free shipping, they worked out to about a dollar apiece. No reinforced hinges--fine with me--but the covers are very thin, not much more than paper. But they work OK.These ones at Amazon are twice the price of the Oxford cheapos, but the cover material is much thicker and sturdier. The metal parts are about the same on both. They'll hold well over 700 pages of regular printer paper, though keeping it down to 300 makes a less precarious package.The old 79 cent Acco covers were about 16 thousandths of an inch thick. The new Oxfords are much flimsier, at about 9 thousandths, about as thick as 3 sheets of paper. These Amazon Accos are very beefy, at 19mils. So now I keep a stash of the Oxfords and new Accos around; the cheaper Oxfords are fine for most stuff which spends most of its life on my bookshelves, but stuff I'm going to be carrying around a bit I put in the sturdier Accos.Punch the holes a bit lower than usual, so the pages align with the bottom edge of the cover. Then you can stand them up like books on a bookshelf without crushing the bottoms of the covers. If you have a few you want to keep in with your other books, this is the way to go. If you have loads of them to store together, it's best to shelve them in a pile lying horizontally. In either case, you need some way to tell which is which. So I print the info about the book (title, author, the usual) on a wide strip of paper, and wrap that around the spine and tuck it under the front & back covers. It's easy to do, and I don't have to guess at which book is which.The Sparco SPR01796 (available at Amazon) is a good punch. (No, it won't punch 300 pages at a whack--I said good, not spectacular.) I took out the center hole punch (these covers only use two of the traditional three holes), and put in a screw to clamp the fence where I always use it, as otherwise it moves around too easily and the holes don't come out where I want them.UPDATE - Price has increased to the same ridiculous insult as the office supply stores. $5.59 apiece is just grotesque. No longer recommended.

Extremely convenient for binding papers. They aren't bulky like three ring binders and the papers are much less likely to fall out. Also, these don't tend to rip pages like three ring binders do. They stack very nicely since they are square. Everyone should use these for binding documents, printouts, etc, they are so nice.

I needed this product to make a portfolio for my work. This was cheaper than other brands (Oxford), thus i bought this mainly since it was better valued. The cover if plastic and has metal holder things. The inner ends of the Report Cover are made of paper (which I do not really like, however compromises have to be made). It has an area to label it and is typically what was expected. This does not have a textured, leathery texture like my other Report Cover. It is good though and i do recommend it.

I am happy with the results.
