  • Snap-in sheet protector and method of use thereof
    Publication number: 20030165644
    Abstract: A snap-in sheet protector that may be reversibly inserted into and removed from a binder without opening the binder rings. The snap-in sheet includes a plurality of holes on at least one edge of the snap-in sheet protector. The snap-in sheet protector also includes a plurality of channels that join the edge of the sheet protector to the holes. The region around the holes and channels of the snap-in sheet protector are strengthened by a stiffening member. The stiffening member provides the snap-in sheet protector with sufficient rigidity to allow the sheet protector to be inserted into the binder without opening the binder rings. Furthermore, inserting the snap-in sheet protector is facilitated by a channel having a wider entry point.
