Legal file folders for high-volume filing

These legal-size folders use 23 pt pressboard with a high recycled content to handle bulky, heavily used files. The bright red colour helps speed visual sorting in busy offices or archives. Each box contains 25 folders ready for immediate use. The 1/3 cut tab sits half an inch high for clear labelling in standard filing systems.

Pressboard construction with Tyvek expansion

The heavyweight pressboard resists wear and tear during daily handling of thick documents. A matching-colour Tyvek gusset expands to one inch, allowing the folder to grow with the file without splitting. The accordion-pleat design keeps the expansion flexible and durable over time. Reinforced tabs add extra strength at the most stressed point.

Fixed one-inch capacity and legal format

The gusset stops at one inch, so files that grow beyond that will need a larger folder or a second unit. Legal-size dimensions limit use to legal-length paperwork; letter-size documents will not fill the width efficiently. The 1/3 tab layout fits standard drawer rails but does not suit lateral systems that require full-width tabs. No hanging hooks or fasteners are included.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/3 cut top tab mean for label space?

The tab is one-third the folder width and sits half an inch high, leaving ample room for a printed or handwritten label.

Will a 23 point pressboard folder with Tyvek gusset fit a standard legal drawer?

Yes, it is sized for legal sheets and the 1 inch expansion gusset still slides into standard legal-width rails.

How do I load papers so the 1 inch expansion does not jam?

Insert documents evenly across the width before opening the gusset fully; overstuffing one side first causes the pleats to catch.
