JAM PaperKraft 1 inch Binder - Black Recycled Kraft 3 Ring Binder - Sold Individually

I bought 3 of these binders. One came with a broken ring. I exchanged it and received a new one with the same exact broken ring. There is clearly a quality issue with this production. I have now to return a second time this binder. For 17 dollars, a was expecting a good quality binder.The binders came wrapped in plastics but there was still dirt on them. (Some sort of rust) I was able to clean that.

The binder itself could have been nice. The black matte is pretty, but it was so bent and chipped that I can’t use it for what i intended. It’s clearly been used before and in a major way

The actual binder is nice. It is sturdy. The rings match up and close nicely. However, there is NO mention of the paper being recycled on the label or on the actual binder itself. I’m skeptical how much of this is truly made from post-consumer materials.

I needed a flat black 3 ring binder for choir music. This is exactly what was needed.
