Marcia,
I am trying my hardest to figure out the U.S. equivalent of this - but I can't. Does it have other pages inside of it to hold the papers? Could you post a photo of an open one? That would be helpful. The link you posted didn't have a photo of what they look like either.
I've really only used binders for papers (as small as 1/2 inch thick). But they do tend to be bulky.
Just noticed the open one, sorry, but it's not very clear to me still. They look very helpful though!
I'm not sure if what I use are called flipfiles but here we call them display books/folders.
I have one each for the children and put all their awards/report cards/etc (one pocket per school year).
I also use them for:
* DH's workers comp paperwork
* paperwork to do with our car (rego, insurance, maintenance receipts, etc)
* school paperwork (current newsletters, blank absent notes, sports schedules, etc)
They are VERY handy and sit nicely on my bookshelf, and don't take up too much room as binders would. AND I like the fact that I don't have to punch holes!
I miss flipfiles! Not sure if I've seen the equivalent here in England as I've not really looked, but you've inspired me to.
Hey Tina
Thanks - display books/ folders sound familiar.
Lyn
Yes, it does have other pages - all plastic sleeves so no punching like Tina said! I'll take another picture later this week and post it!
Jen
Yippee - you know exactly what I mean!
I use something similar that is clear and has holes punched to out in a binder. Love it!
Cool idea! I may have to try that! What type of button are you looking for? I make graphics...you can see my work over at http://annabellescreations.bravehost.com/
Let me know if you want me to make you something! annabelle222@gmail.com
Hi Marcia, I met another marcia recently too. I will visit more often I could always use more organization keep up the good work!
I think they're called "presentation files" or "presentation books" in the US - I've seen them around at various office supply stores for years. They also might be considered a portfolio of sorts.
