oversized. They can be used on both the front and back of your
documents, plus they're easy to find. These products should definitely

different colors available (clear, blue, red, smoke) so there's bound

printing. These items come in many different colors such as purple,
turquoise, and light gray. If you want to use environmentally friendly
materials, there are sand poly covers that contain 50% post-consumer
