Alternative Binders To Citation

My WW collection, such as it is, is housed in two Harris Citation albums.

I am fine with the pages and far enough in I doubt I'll ever be willing to transfer to new pages, BUT I think Harris' binders are just ugly with their insistence to heavily brand them. Strong preference for me is single-color binders.

Is anyone familiar with the Harris Heirloom binders? Can anyone speak to the quality, look, and feel of these binders?

Also is there a 2-post alternative that will hold Harris pages? In a perfect world the binder would be narrower than the Citation's four inches. Suggestions?

I am using Olympian binders by CWS and transferring three different collections from Harris and others to about 18 of those binders. I believe they are manufactured in Canada. Also printing my own pages on acid free paper from Staples. The only problem with the Staples paper is it needs to be cut to 9 X 12 for the album page size.

I've seen the Olympians and like them a lot, but they have heavy "Olympian" branding on the covers. I'm looking for something more plain (certainly expect company logo or something like that, but not the entire cover branded).

Have you considered taking a razor blade to the top of the plastic (carefully) and removing the paper insert under the plastic. I have done this many times on binders - that were not my albums though.

Why not three-hole the pages and use Vario binders? The are high quality, are plain, come with a sleeve case, and the "G" size comes with "D" rings, which is real nice.

That is a good idea. And. I. Have. Like. 5. Binders. The solution was right under my nose.

Do you mean "G" as in Grande? If so, these are 4 ring binders. I cannot find a Lighthouse 3 "D" ring binder. I see a hoop style and O-ring.

Lighthouse lists Vario G 3Rng at $49.94 ea in 5 different colors. They are the "D" ring type.

Their publicity mentions 4 binders......where are the other 14 ?
Thanks !

I recently ordered the Heirloom binder from Whitman. I returned it immediately. It seemed very flimsy and not made for long use. I concur with advice to try Canadian Wholesale Supply for an alternative binder.
