I have always kept my negs in a regular binder and had to fight with dust and also sometimes ended up with these creases on my negs or on my prints from the binder rings. finally i stepped it up a notch and got this binder, its really a low price for something that does so much good for my things. So far the only downside is that the snaps holding it closed are somewhat hard to unsnap without breaking a nail- some may like that they can be sure it wont accidentally fall open. All in all, for the price its sooo worth it.

Comments about Besfile Archival Binder With Rings, Black:

This is a nice and sturdy archival binder that will hold Photos or negatives that fit in a 8.5 x 11 format. My only compliant is that the rings are a little on the small side so it is easy to run out of space.

        This binder neatly stores all of my 35mm, 4x5, and 6x7cm negative sleeve pages. They are compact, stackable, and archival quality. I have confidence that my negatives and prints are secure and organized.

          I like book form storage. I bought three of these at different times and will buy them again. Best way to store your negatives with contact sheets and keeps dust and dirt out. Just wish they would make a 2" ring binder option.

              A lot of people find these binders hard to open and close but I don't agree in that. I think they are pretty normal in that direction. Can highly recommend this product instead of something similar that will cost you a lot more!

                  Great for storing my negatives-- was what my photo professor recommended and it really does keep the dust off. I wish, however, that there were tabs to open the binder rings-- with this model, you can only pry open the rings.

                    These are great cheap archival storage boxes. The plastic that these are made from is easily broken and cracked so do handle with care. Also the 2 enclosure flaps are tight which is good for long term storage but rather annoying if being used for a photo album type storage. Overall great priced storage!

                    I have hundreds of photos to store in archival pages. Traditional binders do not sit well on shelves and with the weight tend to come apart over time.

                    I only wish these came with D rings for maximum storage and pages lying flat.

                        Does the job, nothing special, but then again, it's a binder

                              The archival box is a good size, but the rings are difficult to open at times and the snaps could work more smoothly.
