Why choose this product

Engineered for Secure Document Management

Smead's pressboard classification folders are designed with SafeSHIELD Coated Fasteners, a patented technology that significantly reduces the risk of hand injuries and paper damage. Unlike standard fasteners that can snag or tear, these offer a smoother, safer experience. The 2/5-cut tab and right-of-center position allow for easy integration into filing systems and color-coding. With 6 filing surfaces and 2 dividers, they provide superior organization for complex projects, ensuring all your important papers are secure and easily accessible. This focus on user safety and document integrity sets them apart.

Ideal for Professionals and Students

These folders are perfect for office workers, students, and anyone needing to organize large volumes of documents. The 2" expansion accommodates bulky files, making them suitable for project management, case files, or extensive study materials. If you require robust, long-lasting organization and value fastener safety, these are an excellent choice. However, if you only need simple, single-document storage or prefer lightweight paper folders, these heavy-duty pressboard options might be overkill.

How to use

Prepare Your Documents — Gather all related papers for a specific project or subject. Ensure documents are flat and ready to be inserted into the folder's filing surfaces.
Insert Documents Securely — Open the SafeSHIELD fasteners on the desired filing surface. Carefully place your documents onto the fastener posts, ensuring they lie flat. Close the fastener securely to hold papers in place.
Organize and Label — Utilize the 2 dividers to create up to 6 distinct sections within the folder. Use the 2/5-cut tab (right of center) to attach a label indicating the folder's contents for easy identification in a filing system.
Store or File — Place the folder into a filing cabinet or drawer. The 2-inch expansion allows for bulky files, accommodating a significant number of pages while maintaining structural integrity.
