Why choose this product
Superior Document Protection & Organization
Smead Pressboard Classification File Folders are engineered for maximum document security and efficient organization. Unlike basic folders, these feature SafeSHIELD coated fasteners that actively prevent finger cuts and paper tears, safeguarding both users and contents. The robust 25 pt. pressboard construction and tear-resistant expanding spine offer superior durability for heavy-duty use, accommodating up to 2" of documents. With 2 dividers and 6 filing surfaces, managing complex projects becomes streamlined. Sourced directly from authorized US retailers, these folders ensure you receive the authentic, high-quality product designed for professional environments.
Ideal for Professionals, Who Should Consider Alternatives
These folders are perfect for office workers, students, and professionals needing to organize large project files, legal documents, or extensive reports. The 2/5-cut tab is ideal for drawer filing systems. Consider alternatives if you require only basic document containment for very thin files, or if a specific color not available in this Gray/Green option is essential for your color-coding system. For extremely high-volume archival needs beyond 2" expansion, specialized archive boxes might be more suitable.
How to use
Gather all related documents for a specific project or client. Ensure papers are within letter size (11-3/4" W x 10" H) and consider the total volume to ensure it fits within the 2-inch expansion. — Prepare Document Load
Carefully open the SafeSHIELD fasteners by gently lifting the coated prongs. Insert documents, distributing them evenly across the 6 filing surfaces and between the 2 dividers for balanced expansion. — Insert Documents
