Hi all! I'm in need of a Playbill binder (the size to fit recent playbills), as I'm trying to put together a Christmas gift for my partner. I've gone to the official Playbill website and can't afford (or justify) the $50 price they have fora 3-ring binder! Any help or ideas you might have would be wonderful.

Thanks so much, Kevin

(also, it's just the binder I need)

You can get half page sheet protectors (5.5 by 8.5) from stapes for about $5 here.

They have 1 inch binders for that size, too. Amazon even has a 2 inch one here.

I bought 2 of that exact binder when I finally got around to organizing my Playbills over the summer; it works perfectly. I would estimate it holds about 15-20, comfortably. (This reminds me I need to purchase a third...)

Amazon has the sheet protectors as well, here. They are also an add-on item, though.

Thx to both of you! Ultimately, I would like to get a binder that says "Playbill" on the side, one of the "real" ones. If anyone knows where I can get one of these, at a cheap price, that would be great!:) -Kevin

I feel your pain. I recently wanted to buy one and it was $60 shipping to Asuatralia! More than the actual binder. So I'll buy one from a gift shop next time I'm in New York

Their cheaper binders with the metal rods that insert in the metal tracks hold 16 playbills each and work perfectly. I've been using them for years and my playbills stay in great condition. They're only $13 or $14 each and I think were just on sale for black Friday. If you want something that says Playbill on it, that's your best option.

If you're fine with settling for a non-Playbill branded binder, I can't recommend these mini-binders highly enough. I just bought a bunch more, since I ran out. You can print out Playbill labels to put into the side tab window, but I didn't bother.

They're D-ring binders rather than round-ring (so they sit flat) and are higher quality than the Avery brand. They also have a little folder inside that I use to put loose photos, etc.

I use them with the sheets you can find on the same site (direct link here), which are extra heavyweight (thicker than regular heavyweight).
