Avery Signature Binder, 1.5" Paper Capacity
I ordered three customized binders to preserve my parents’ treasured recipes, and I couldn’t be happier with how they turned out. The binders arrived within a week, which was a wonderful surprise.
The quality is really good. It is sturdy, well-made, and exactly what I was hoping for. I loved that I was able to customize them exactly the way I wanted, and the spine comfortably fit our eight-letter last name, which made the personalization feel complete and special.
My parents passed away within months of each other in 2025, and I now have their red recipe box filled with so many meaningful family recipes. I wanted to share these with my siblings, so I copied all the recipes in color and placed them in sheet protectors inside the binders. They look absolutely wonderful, organized, vibrant, and truly special.
These binders turned a box of memories into a beautiful keepsake, and I can’t wait to give them to my siblings. I’m so grateful to Zazzle for helping me create something that honors my parents and keeps our family traditions alive.
Highly recommend!

Overall, I love my new BOS. I am currently in the process of updating and "modernizing" my original BOS, and THIS is the product I chose to house all of my information in, and so far, it is working out wonderfully. With THIS product, and its 3-ring binder that allows for ease of page insertion and removal, I am able to put my pages in wherever I want to in the book, in whatever order I want to, which I was UNABLE to do with my original, where the pages were sewn in to the binder. Also, it is made large enough to accommodate a multitude of pages; plenty to complete any large project. It has layered pocket inserts on BOTH the front AND back covers, for extra storing of papers/clippings, and it is made from a durable hard plastic material (regular binder). Although I am pleased with how it did come, I was actually expecting it to look more like what was pictured in the photo that was advertised. The advertisement says that the item is "blue-green" in color and the DESIGN of the book also APPEARS to be made of a "faux leather" FABRIC, NOT simply a design PRINTED onto a PLASTIC binder. And the book I received is more of a "gun metal grey" or "light black" color.
