I purchased these for my day pack and first aid kit. I wanted to have information readily available to anyone in the event of an emergency. These are super handy, virtually take up no space. It is sturdy as it is not a regular brochure type of paper. It has a coating on it that will help keep its shape and color.

Good overview.

I intended to use this on a bike trip, but it was too big to put in my handlebar bag and I was afraid it would get messed up (torn) in the panniers. I now keep it in my vehicle for easy reference.
