Depending on your school needs, you can find a great trapper keeper or zipped binder and have a functional way to organize everything all in one. Plus they’re still cool. Here are our favorites.
Color-coded
It’s packed with all the tabs, dividers, and pocket pages in various and coordinated hues. When you’re always on the go, this classy-looking organizer both traps and keeps your assignments and projects organized. In the center of this trapper keeper is the large three-ring binder that could hold 600 pieces of binder paper. Keep everything with you as you move from school to your other activities, then zip everything into the attractive black case with a comfortable, removable strap.

Water-resistant
Close it up and don’t worry about this fabric trapper keeper, since its durable design repels water. This zippered binder is a great design if you have papers without three-hole punches in them. That’s because there is a large six-pocket expanding file that can hold up to 500 pieces of paper inside. You don’t even need to open the binder to reach it, as you can access it from the outside, too. Keep your pens, pencils, and erasers in the zippered mesh pocket in the front.
Simply organized
With the binder on one side and the expanding file on the other, it’s easy to keep all your papers in their places. It’s the little features that make this trapper keeper great for younger children. We love how the velcro closure is easier for small hands than working with zippers and corners. Once you open the two-inch red binder, you’ll see ample room in the binder for over 450 pages. On the left side is another velcro strap holding the five tabbed accordion pockets for filing your pages and projects.

Quickly reach your calculator and erasers by unzipping the outside pocket. There are two little pockets in there to hold flash drives, too. Drop it on the floor or into the locker, this water-resistant trapper keeper is strong enough to take it. The three-ring binder can hold up to 300 sheets of paper, and the expanding file can hold almost 200 handouts and notes. The zipper binder is about 11 inches wide by about 13 inches high and 2-3/4 inches deep. With lots of colors to choose from, this trapper keeper can give you a lot of classroom organization.
