Avery Elle stamp & die pockets

[chihuahua-mom]

I'm in need of some sturdy storage pockets for dies and was wondering what your opinions on these are? Thanks bunches!

A lot of people use them. They are sturdy. I haven't had any tear. However. They can really add up in price. I purchase these from Amazon and they are almost the exact size. You get a larger amount and much cheaper

I'm with Copperkids. I am changing my pouches from page protectors to the type you're talking about. But the Avery Elle are at the top of the price point for that type of pouch. I bought the same DVD sleeves from Amazon.

Just to show the difference: Avery Elle are $9 for 25. That's $0.36 each. The Amazon sleeves at $14 for 200 are $0.07 each. You could replace every one of the Amazon sleeves 5 times before you'd break even.

I have had 3 of the Amazon sleeves tear a bit on the side seam. I taped them up. Out of 200 that's acceptable to me. And I must admit that I was the problem there. I was reaching inside to get a stamp without slipping the card out of the pouch. Dumb! I could do that with the page protectors I was using before, but that's one of the reasons I'm changing to the pouches, so that I can't do that!

I use the ones from Amazon too, and I really like them.

Avery makes a page protector that is the same size as the Avery Elle pockets, however, there are 15 in a pack for $2.47 at Wal-Mart. I LOVE THEM. They do have holes punched down the side for inclusion in a binder; but I leave them on instead of trimming off in case I change my mind later about storage. So far, I am pleased.

I use ones from Simon Says Stamp, I have also used Avery Elle ones and have to say i couldn't see any difference between the two. The Simon ones come in packs of 50 i believe and when i last purchased them they worked out cheaper.

Avery Elle and the ones from Amazon are very similiar...Amazon much cheaper. Ellen Hutson has them also but hers are much heavier...more costly...but more durable. I have a combination of Amazon and Ellen. I use Ellen's for my most used dies and stamps.
