Why choose this product

Unlike local alternatives that may compromise on material strength or tab reinforcement, Smead folders are built to last.

Ideal for Professionals, Not for Casual Home Use

These folders are designed for high-volume, professional filing systems where durability and quick identification are paramount. They are best suited for office workers, medical professionals, and record managers. Casual home users or students needing simple document organization might find the end-tab design and bulk quantity excessive; standard top-tab folders or smaller packs may be more appropriate for lighter filing needs.

How to use

Gather all documents for a specific file. Ensure they are neatly organized and ready to be placed inside the folder. For best results, use standard letter-size paper (8.5 x 11 inches). — Prepare Your Files
Use the embossed lines on the reinforced straight-cut tab to write or print your file label. Ensure the label is clear and legible. The undercut front panel ensures the label remains visible even when folders are filed closely together. — Apply Labels Clearly
Place the labeled folder into your designated shelf filing system. The end-tab design is optimized for shelf filing, allowing for easy insertion and removal. Use the blue color to categorize files according to your established system. — File in Shelf System
