Beseler 12.1x10.2 Archival Binder with Rings

This is awesome for storing sheets of negatives. It’s hard for me to open with arthritis - as with other things, I just use garden gloves and it’s fine.

Love these binders, I have four and I keep all my rares and more valuable Magic cards in them. Pretty expensive but worth it, one good card saved from damage pays for it. I've had these for 3 years and they are holding up great, no signs of wear and all the latches still work. They seal up nice and secure, completely keep out light and dirt, and prevent all physical damage. Can't imagine going back to a zippered binder, or god forbid a regular binder that debris gets into and cards can fall out of completely... When you snap the latches shut and put it on your shelf, you can rest easy knowing whatever you put inside is staying in the same condition.

My many years worth of photo negatives have been stored in regular binder style files. Open to dust and whatever else can get inside. These are a more secure solution to store them safe and secure. They are very solid and rigid box. They cab be stored upright or laid down and hold the negative well. I can also store photo cd's inside, cannot do that with regular binder style files. Highly recommend them.

Very sturdy construction, and fulfilled the need It was purchased for. Using it to store away currency collection of antique bills that will probably not be seen again until after my death. I was looking for something solid and sealed up decently to prevent contamination from average storing conditions. This fit the need perfectly. I will note to use a little care when opening the locking tabs for the first time as they are tight. Pull on both corners of each tab to prevent damaging the locking tangs. I am a 53 year old certified John Deere Master Technician who has been working with steel all my life. I grabbed "one" corner of the locking tab and pulled like I was working on a piece of equipment, and broke a small part of the locking "tang". It is still usable, and is in no part the fault of the product. If you pull on both corners of the tab, it will pop open with little effort, but still locks well enough that it will not come open by accident. I will be be ordering this again.

Superb storage solution for sheets of 25 35mm slides. I've used these for years and never had any problem. They seal well. The snap closures are pretty firm to press closed and to open, but that means they are secure. Never any hint of wearing out of the hinge portion of the plastic structure. They can be used with the sheets of slides secured in the ring binder or with the sheets just placed in the box. Ideal for stacking on shelf or standing up like books.

I have plastic pages that hold keys. In a regular binder they jangle loose, stick out, flop about. I found this AND IT CLOSES! ALL THE WAY!! Very sturdy- held 3 pages of key sets- and nothing can get out without my permission. My only request for revision would be a flat spot on the front and side for labelling.

I manage a massive archive of postcards and photographs. These are wonderful at not only keeping my collectible paper safe, the are practical and don't snag pages like other binders. I was having trouble with regular binders clipping or opening and letting my sheet protectors slip out. These keep the pages upright and keep them from getting punched in the rings. Solid, well built and I just don't know how I lived without them!

Looks as advertised.

I was looking forward to getting this for my film negatives, but unfortunately it came broken. It had cracked off in three places, and while it is still usable, I am left bitterly disappointed.
