Inside the envelope were the plastic-wrapped index cards. It would be desirable for the manufacturer to test a more environmentally friendly packaging option.
In addition to the index cards, the scope of delivery includes practical perforated rings for structuring the index cards and a small product flyer.
Detailed instructions for use are not included, but are not required.

These index cards were subjected to an extensive practical test . With regard to the paper thickness, it was found that the individual index cards are robust and have a high-quality appearance. They have an appropriate thickness and good stability and are therefore ideal for their intended use. The surface of the cards was tested for writeability with a wide variety of pens. Whether gel pens, ballpoint pens, pencils or felt-tip pens – no smudging could be detected and the legibility of the individual pens is also good. The index cards passed the tear test – the material has good tear resistance and proved to be robust.
With regard to colour fastness when exposed to light, it was found that the colours remain vivid and unaltered in different lighting conditions. The index cards are easy to stack and have a non-slip surface.
Overall , this product impressed with its practical use and the high-quality perforated rings, which help with structured storage and organisation .

Prices of up to €13.00 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products . Very cheap products are available from as little as €6.00 . The index cards from Siumir are therefore currently in the lower price segment with a price of €8.49. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is very good.
