Five Star® Delivers Unmatched Innovation to Create Reliable Supplies for Students

KETTERING, Ohio, May 17, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Although school supplies have been around for a long time, Five Star^® continues to be the industry leader in creating new and innovative solutions that help students succeed and stay organized. Keeping durability and reliability at the forefront, Five Star^® offers updated and improved school products with unique features, while consistently providing new and exciting designs that students will want in their backpacks all year.

NEW Five Star^® Reinforced Filler Paper – Through innovative engineering and development, Five Star^® improved the age-old problem of papers tearing easily out of binders. Five Star^® Reinforced Filler Paper features more durable, patent-pending triangle-shaped holes and stronger reinforcement tape, making it double the strength of the leading competition.* This teacher-requested staple provides an improved writing experience for the student, whether notetaking or assignment writing. The paper is available in college ruled, wide ruled and graph.

* Test results based upon independent laboratory testing of tension strength of reinforced holes in Five Star® Reinforced Filler Paper and leading Reinforced Filler Paper manufacturers held in standard ring binders.

Five Star Flex^® Hybrid NoteBinder^® – The Five Star Flex^® Hybrid NoteBinder^® acts like a notebook and works like a binder. The durable plastic cover folds over to lie flat, like a notebook. But the Patented TechLock^® rings open easily, so students can add paper and dividers like a binder. The rings are flexible, but they won't break or misalign. The design makes it possible to tackle organization. While keeping its users on task, the Five Star Flex^® Hybrid NoteBinder^® also has interior pocket dividers that provide protection and storage for papers. It will last the whole year with an unmatched durability backed by a one-year product guarantee. The Five Star Flex^® Hybrid NoteBinder^® includes NotePocket^® dividers, NoteProtector^® dividers and 8.5" x 11" note paper (college ruled and quad ruled) and is available in 1" and 1½" solid colors or designs.
