You are probably familiar with top loading vinyl sheet protectors. But, have you ever used the side loading version of this vinyl holder? That’s right, you can get all the features and benefits of a vinyl protector, but in a side loading alternative.

While the majority of page protectors are top loading, there are side loading versions available too. Side loading vinyl sheet protectors are good for frequently used documents.  And I don’t just mean documents that you look at a lot, but also documents that need to be taken out of the protector often.

My husband and I recently bought a new house. With that, not only came a new set of keys, but mounds of paperwork. Some documents were letter size, but most were legal size. I wanted to have everything organized because you never know when you will need the land survey you were given at the closing.

So after the closing, we walked out of the building with a giant stack of documents and I immediately organized them in a binder, using legal size sheet protectors. (Okay, not immediately, but I did the following day after I bought a new legal size binder.)  I just did not like the thought of all those papers loose in the file cabinet or a drawer. I like having all the signed forms in one place.

I know I am always talking about organization, but I cannot help it! I like to have everything in order and I work for a company that is all about helping you be more organized. So I guess it would go without saying that I would have an opinion on the number one product for organization, which happens to be binder sheet protectors. Yes, it is true, I strongly favor the project folder and document case, while other rely on shop ticket holders, but nothing is as versatile as the page protector.

Remember, this product comes in many sizes, capacity style, weights, materials, finishes, and even colors.

If you are like me, as the year comes to a close, you begin to get sentimental about past events.  I am not only thinking about things that happened during 2009, but also what has happened throughout my life. So what else does a sentimental sap like me do, but look through old photo and scrapbook albums.

Since all my photos and scrapbook pages are stored in archival polypropylene sheet protectors, they are safe from the damage that time can bring. And this holds true for your reports, reviews, data sheets… any materials that you want to be protected.The poly page protectors are acid-free, meaning that there is no danger of photo or printer inks, toners, colors or other materials “lifting” off the pages or pictures and sticking to the sheet protector.

In addition to our stock line of products, C-Line also has an entire custom order department. Yes, if there is something about a product, like a sheet protector, that you need made to your specific needs, we can help.

So for instance, say you need custom sheet protectors that are a special size, like 4 x 6 to accommodate a daily schedule book that your students use. You cannot find this size anywhere and you want to sell it in your school’s bookstore. Or, you want to sell a sheet protector that features a binding strip in the school’s colors with the school’s logo embossed on it, rather than that plain, white strip in our current products. What do you do?

Recently, I visited my brother at his university in Iowa. While there, I visited the school bookstore to pick up a sweatshirt.  And low and behold, while there, I discovered they sold our top loading sheet protector. This was a huge surprise to me, even though I am not that far removed from those years.

Last Friday, my sister, Jen, got married. If you are a frequent visitor of the blog, you knew it was coming up soon. Well, the big event finally happened, but for this day, the weathermen in Chicago were predicting rain!  You may be thinking, rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck.  That may be true, but who really wants that to happen?!?  That’s what I thought.

Her main concern was important documents – marriage license, wedding vows, etc. – getting wet. You see, she got married on a boat and there was quite a walk from the car to the boat. We were going to have bags of things, like her jacket, touch-up makeup, an extra pair of flat shoes and more, but she was still concerned that if we had a torrential downpour (which is known to occur in Chicago) that even a canvas bag would not stop the water damage. So I suggested that she put all important papers into sheet protectors. She had two options for protection and it came down to preference.

Last week, I decided that it was time to straighten out my recipe cabinet. I call it a “recipe cabinet” because it is literally an entire cabinet in my kitchen devoted to food magazines, cookbooks, and random recipes printed from various websites or ripped out of the newspapers.  For years, the clutter has grown larger and higher, until I could no longer fit anything else in the cabinet.  What did I turn to to solve my organization problem? My plastic sheet protectors!

What can I say about a sheet protector that I have not already told you all? Well, there is one thing that I can think of – COLOR. Have you met the color varieties of the top loading sheet protector? That’s right, for extra organization and filing, there is the full colored sheet protector and colored edge sheet protector.
