If you were a child of the 80s, you remember the vintage trapper keepers. These colorful three ring binders were all the rage among students in every class. Trapper keepers came in various colors and designs and were often decorated with popular cartoon characters.

Launched in 1978 by Mead (now part of ACCO Brands), Trapper Keeper notebooks were a departure from the sterile, generic supplies that populated school lockers and desks. Brightly colored three-ring binders held folders called Trappers and closed with a satisfying button snap.

The Trapper, a folder with angled pockets to hold your papers and the Keeper, a notebook that holds multiple Trappers. Together, secured by a strip of Velcro and adorned with a radical graphic on the front, they made up the iconic Trapper Keeper.

Trapper Keeper was a must-have school supply in the 1980s for millions of kids as they navigated their way through middle and high school, whether they were toting a cute Trapper Keeper with puppies and kittens, a super sweet style with bright geometric patterns and laser beams, or the completely iconic rainbows and unicorns’ options.
