Yellow letter folders with dual fasteners

Smead 12940 folders provide two separate filing surfaces in each folder using 2-inch K-style prong fasteners. The 1/3 cut assorted top tabs and reinforced 1/2-inch tabs help organise letter-size documents. Each folder is made from 11 point stock scored for 3/4-inch expansion and comes in a 50-count box.

Suited for high-volume filing with split categories

These folders suit offices that need to keep meeting notes and drafts separate within a single folder. The dual fasteners create two distinct filing surfaces for related document sets. Buyers who only need single-surface filing or prefer fastener-free folders should look at something else.

Fast setup with common filing pitfalls

Installation is straightforward: insert papers onto the prongs and press the fastener base to secure them. The scored expansion allows the folder to grow as needed. Papers can slip off if the prongs are not fully compressed after loading, and overstuffing beyond the scored line can tear the 11 point stock.

Questions about this item

Will the 11 pt. stock folders fit inside my existing letter-size hanging files?

Yes, the folders are letter size and the 11 pt. stock is thin enough to slide into standard letter-size hanging file frames without binding.

Can I use the two fasteners on each folder to separate older archived pages from newer active documents?

Each folder includes two 2" prong K-style fasteners that create two distinct filing surfaces, letting you keep archived material on one side and current work on the other.

How do I confirm the 1/3 cut assorted tabs are positioned correctly for my drawer?

After filing, open the drawer and check that the three tab positions — left, centre, right — repeat evenly across the 50 folders so labels align in straight columns.
