What size binders do you use?

Binder size for me depends on the collection. Japan gets 4 inch biggies for example. I like the 2” and 3” Avery with the easy open tab and all the slip pockets. They are inexpensive and come in WHITE. I like the light, bright look of white binders. Most of the fancy, schmancy stuff is all black, navy etc. That makes my stamp den feel too dark and gloomy.

I am a big fan of Bindertek binders. My only beef with them is the shipping cost to get them to you. So, one 2" binder, which costs $18.00 costs $9.00 to ship to my house.

Last night I found out that Staples sells Bindertek binders. They're not in stock in the store. But they will "ship to store" for free and the binders only cost $18.79 or $19.79 a binder. So, you can really save yourself on shipping if you have a Staples near you.

Great topic! I have a large foreign coin collection that is contained in about a dozen binders (mostly 3" with one or two 4" binders). For stamps I normally use 1 1/2" or 2". Lately I've been considering going to the 3" size for my stamp collection. I am considering Bindertek since I already have a couple slipcases purchased from them.

I did not know about Staples selling them (I might have to order some to be shipped to a store). I've been holding off on buying anything from Bindertek on the chance that they run a Labor Day sale. Hey, anything to save a buck...

Don’t use binders .I prefer box files . I often display so pages are in protective exhibition sleeves housed in box files.

1 1/2" binders mostly, a couple of 2". I use Mystic Heirloom albums, so all my U.S. albums are green. Therefore, because I'm anal retentive, all binders for the same country are the same color. Canada is blue, UK is black, and France is white. I plan to use red for USSR (of course), and DDR is yet to be determined...whatever color the store has that I haven't used yet.

Interesting to hear what you guys are doing. I did it simple; obtained 160 identical Lighthouse Grande Signum (all black). I believe they're at about 2,5 inches.

(Inches? My head is tuned at mm/cm/mtr/km....When are the New world gonna realize that the metric system is so much easier? ....😊)

Exactly, annoying, isn't it? Many other Commonwealth countries also 'changed', at least officially, at about the same time. Like UK, but they're still driving in miles per hour and measuring in feet or inches. Fueling in gallons...but drinking pints.
Supposedly NASA had a very costly incident due to inaccurate conversion metric to imperial. Yet the old fashioned system remains. Officially though, only 2 developing countries still haven't adopted metric, along with - well .

I posted a review of the Bindertek binders on SCF. You can read it here:

For some products the conversion to metric is not hard. However due to backward compatibility, certain metric standards like paper sizes (like A0 to A5) has a lot more inertia to change. As a mechanical engineer, I liked metric but suppliers did not always like it since metric products (material, screws) were harder to obtain.  In fact, while say a sheet metal thickness was dimensioned in metric on the drawing it may refer to an English size.
