    If you want to begin earning your degree with the best college supplies, then you can’t go wrong with the STYLIO Padfolio. It takes the straightforward concept of the padfolio and enhances it so that it is incredibly sleek, stylish and functional.

    This is one of the best student binders because it could easily accompany you into your professional life. You’ll notice that the SYTLIO Padfolio is different before you even flip open the cover. Its faux leather, but this doesn’t count against it.

    That’s because this textile is rich and supple, with a deep, dark hue that the manufacturer refers to as “piano black.” The contrasting white stitching draws the eye and provides essential reinforcement to make this a sturdy option.

    Open the cover, and you’ll find numerous features that are designed to keep you organized. The left side of the folder has a document holder that can corral as much as 30 sheets of paper. Also on this site is an easy access pocket and a holder for business or credit cards.

    The inside of the folder’s spine has a pen loop. On the right side is a refillable pad holder that is suitable for both letter- and A4-size pads. This binder is perfectly suitable for men and women, college students, professionals and others.

    Things to Love 

    • A beautiful, durable faux leather cover
    • Accent stitching makes this folder more attractive and sturdier
    • Plenty of useful pockets on the inside
    • Suitable for pads of paper in letter size or A4
    • One-year guarantee for any defects

    Things to Consider 

    • You may need to stretch the inside pockets so that they can be used for their intended purposes.

    Overall, this is an extremely desirable binder for college students and professionals. It will keep you organized and make sure that you look great at the same time. With excellent durability, you’ll be using this folder for years.

    2. Case-it Executive Zippered College Student Padfolio with Removable 3-Ring Binder

    Case-it Executive Zippered Padfolio with Removable 3-Ring Binder and Letter Size Writing Pad, Black, PAD-40

    Read Reviews & Check the Deal →

    If you carry around numerous loose items that you always seem to be losing or trying to control, then you may be better served by a binder with a zipper. Getting the best zipper binder can be tricky.

    After all, some of them have zippers that tend to stick or catch, which just leaves you frustrated. However, the Case-It Executive Zippered Padfolio is not one that will leave you in the lurch.

    Good binders like this one are designed to stand the test of time. The backbone of this folder is Kraft board as opposed to the more commonly used PE board.

    This provides greater stiffness to protect against buckling and warping.

    The Kraft board is covered by a good-quality, black material that feels good in the hands and appears durable. On the binder’s spine is a handle for easy transport.

    Inside the binder is a one-inch, three-ring binder that can be removed. Two pen holders and a document holder also are included.

    Several slots for ID, cards and business cards as well as an elastic pocket for an electronic accessory are found on the left-hand side. A letter-sized writing pad sits on the right-hand side.

    It could easily transition from school to work, so you may be able to get years of use out of it. However, it’s also valuable to know that this binder is definitely bulkier than the STYLIO option.

    Tips for Choosing the Best Binders for College Students

    best binders for collegeCollege is an important time for any young adult. This is because it is academic preparation for the career they hope to pursue.

    Accordingly, it is critical that the student is prepared for all of the opportunities and challenges that they will encounter.

    This means having the right supplies, and a quality binder is foremost among these. The right binder helps the student to organize their papers and other vital supplies.

    It offers a safe place to store research and notes when the student is on the go.

    Moreover, a quality binder assists with the transition from academia to a professional sphere. It’s the ideal place to keep resumes and cover letters when interviewing for internships and jobs.

    On-the-job, it can be just as important for taking notes in meetings, collating the details of a project or for consultations with clients.

    The student’s goals may affect their choice of a binder. If they are looking for something for a strictly academic purpose, then a basic three-ring binder may do.

    Alternatively, they may want something that is more durable and has a more polished and professional appearance.

    Consideration should be given to how the binder will be used before a purchase is made.

    Factors to Consider When Buying Binders for College Students

    The primary consideration before purchasing any binder has to be how the binder will be used. Will the binder be used to organize classroom notes for this quarter’s classes?

    If so, the student’s requirements may be different than if they are looking for a binder to take with them while interviewing for an internship.

    The student further will want to consider whether or not a zippered binder makes sense. Some students wouldn’t dream of using a binder that doesn’t have a zippered closure because this added level of security means that they are less likely to lose things.

    Other students dislike the hassle of having to use a zipper every time they get into their binder.

    best binder for studentCollege students who are looking for a binder that will transition with them from school to their professional life will probably want something better and more durable than a simple three-ring binder.

    For them, one of the sleek, professional-looking binders on this list is more suitable. With places to store business cards, credit cards, loose documents and more, these binders easily switch between school and work.

    The size and weight of the binder also are critical elements to consider. Some of the binders on this list are bulky. However, that added size may be necessary for the student who needs to take a lot of items everywhere they go.

    Alternatively, some students only want to bring the essentials so a more pared-down binder works for them.

    Regardless of which binder is ultimately purchased, the final choice typically rests with the intended use.

    If college students are looking for a binder that will stand the test of time and give them a polished and confident look, then it’s hard to go wrong with the STYLIO Padfolio. Take a closer look at it today to find out if it’s the right binder for you
