5.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected, February 21, 2011

This review is from: Fellowes Thermal Presentation Cover, 0.5 Inch, White (52565) (Office Product)

I bought these covers because of the previous review. I was sure at some point I would want to "pull out" some of the pages after I had bound my report. (Don't ask). I have a Fellowes Helios 30 binder, and followed the instructions carefully since this was my first time using the machine. The binding process went well. I allowed the cover to 'cool down' in the holder provided by the machine for this purpose, and found that every page had been securely bound to the cover.

Because of the previous review, I expected 'tearing out' pages to become easier over time. This has not been the case. I'm not sure what went wrong with the previous reviewer, but my experience has been that the cover has performed admirably well (as advertised). I shall be stocking up.

5.0 out of 5 stars These presentation covers are excellent if you want your work to look professional ..., December 25, 2011

I have the Fellowes Performance Thermal Binder Helios 60 and I use these presentation covers. Mind you, you need to use a little common sense and shouldn't overload your covers or you will have loose pages that will fall out when you least expect it. I had a ring binder I was using before I obtained a Fellowes and that was easy. I seldom had loose pages or any that fell out, but any presentation work looked like a community cookbook.

The trick is to read the directions well when you bind your work or else you'll end up with problems. I know when I overloaded my cover the pages did fall out. I soon learned, that if possible, to divide my work between two binders if I was uncertain. When binding I also had to make sure that I placed my paper evenly into the cover and as far back against the spine as it would allow. Granted, I did make a few mistakes, but the results looked professional and quite sharp once I was done. My ringbound work is a step down in the presentation department and I reserve that for personal work.

Problems you may be experiencing if your paperwork falls out of your presentation cover:

* You may have exceeded the capacity of the cover. Check the spine size. Three hundred sheets don't go in a 1/4" cover.

* Your papers were not put in correctly. After you fill the cover, tap the spine on a flat surface before binding to ensure proper alignment.

* Make sure that you have the proper time setting. An extended timer setting or one that is not enough will make your sheets loose or become unglued easily.

* If you leave your work on the heater plate your sheets can loosen.

The first time I bound a project, I ended up with most of it on the floor because I didn't follow the directions that came with my binder. I reprocessed one set of sheets and practiced a few times before my work came out perfectly. These covers work wonderfully, but if you're not willing to follow directions they won't work as promised. If you do, they are excellent for any professional presentation.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not too strong, November 16, 2009

Whether it's the binder or the covers - these covers do not bind the papers to strong. The papers fall out after a while, and you cannot open the booklet to wide. Bur otherwise it's ok.
