CD Binders - Product of the Week

by Julie on December 4th, 2007

I just read a great article on CD Binders and how important they are to your business. Here’s an excerpt:

One of the most common drawbacks of compact disks is that, depending on their quality, their surface can easily be scratched, leading to poor or completely compromised playback. Moreover, you may have spotted visible dots on some CDs. These patches can grow until they turn into fully transparent areas. The cause is a biological fungus of the type “Geotrichum,” which eats into the polycarbonate surface and, to make matters worse, may affect the aluminum where data is stored.

This fungus is a problem whether your compact disk is original, blank, or of high or low quality. Its voracious nature makes no distinction. The effects of Geotrichum are known as the “CD cancer,” and were first noticed a few years ago, especially in tropical areas, with wet warm weather.

The frequency of these misfortunes, however, has tended to decrease as users have learned how to take better care of their CD’s, particularly by storing them in secure CD binders, which protect them from moisture, scratches, extreme heat, liquids, or other destructive elements.

We use binders for our CDs and our DVDs and it was a great investment to keeping them protected. Most likely as a business owner, you have a few CDs laying around. Maybe they are shoved in your desk drawer or laying “carefully” out on the bookshelf. Neither of those options are best for the protection of your CDs and DVDs. A CD binder is a great solution to this problem. CD binders are not what they used to be also. There are many different designs to choose from and most likely you can find one that will fit in well with your office. Here are a few examples of some different ones:

1. Handstands 11307 CD and DVD Storage Binder

2. Case Logic Nylon 280-Disc CD/DVD Wallet

3. Idea Stream / CD Binder, Media Storage, 128 CDs, Leather Like, Black / IDESNS01642

Protecting your CDs and DVDs will save you money and the headache of having to replace them. Having them all in one spot will also make it much easier to find the CD that you need in a jiffy!
