Questionable storage
I obtainted this product via the Vine Program (sample product is supplied to Vine members at no cost for evaluation)as I thought it would provide a nice storage sleeve for either a CD/DVD or similar flat items. Based upon the description of the package, one would expect that this product could be added to some type of binder (reference is made to being able to tab through them). This simply is not the case, there are no provisions in the holder to be added to any type of binder.
Reference is also made to being able to open and close the sleeve easily. That is also not the case. While there is a plastic cutout that can be inserted into th sleeve, it is difficult to use without being able to flex the sleeve (impossible to do if you have anything that take up very much of the sleeve).
There are tabs on the top of sleeve (they are all located in the center of the sleeve so forget about easy indexing)so that you could place them loosely into a box. There is also a place on each sleeve where an Avery cover is placed over a sticky surface on the sleeve. The cover is NOT intended to be written upon. Instead, it appears to be there to cover up the sticky surface until you peel it away and then place a special Avery label onto the sticky surface.
I have tried finding a use for this product, but have not had any luck! It appears that this product was originally designed for a special purpose that was either scrapped or failed and that the company is looking for some way of salvaging their investments in parts.
If you are looking for a CD/DVD sleeve, buy one made specifically for that purpose. If you are looking for a business card holder, there are several good ones out there specifically designed for that purpose. If you want to store pictures, again, there are very good products specifically designed for this purpose. Trying to force this product to do any of those jobs is just a waste of time and money.
Cool little sticky pockets for DVDs
If you've ever needed to attached a CD or DVD to a report or in a notebook, you'll love this product. With a square of post-it note adhesive on the back of each plastic, see-through envelope, you have the option of sticking anywhere ever you need to put a disc, and to reposition it or move it to another location later. The tabs on the envelopes could be a convenient way to add a note, if required.
I love these pockets and have used almost the entire pack since getting them only a few weeks ago. The only thing I don't love is the color scheme: blue envelopes with lime green tabs. I'm an artist, so when I use them it's usual attached to something that already has a defined color palette, and blue and lime green usually (always) clashes. I have had to cut the tab off each time I've used them.
If you are not design-oriented, this will probably not be an issue for you and other than that, these are very cool, very useful envelopes.
Decent Product
These little storage pockets are very useful. Personally, I use them for moving CD's from the house to the van as they work very well for that purpose. The pockets protect CD's and DVD's from scratches and will stay closed until you are ready for them.
