Legal-Size Expansion Folders

The Smead 37705 is a legal-size pressboard folder with a one-inch expansion and two fasteners, designed for offices that store thick case files or project binders. The end-tab layout keeps labels visible on shelf systems, and the 60-per-cent recycled content meets common procurement guidelines. Each box contains 25 folders in a gray-green finish.

Capacity and Fastener Limits

The 14-inch length fits standard legal sheets, while the one-inch expansion accommodates bulky documents up to the two-inch fastener capacity. Two 2S fasteners secure punched pages at top and bottom, preventing slippage when the folder is full. Beyond the rated expansion the pressboard may bow, so very high-volume files should be split across multiple folders.

Replacing Standard Flat Folders

This model upgrades flat legal folders that lack expansion or fasteners, eliminating the need for separate binder clips or rubber bands. The jump is worth it when files regularly exceed half an inch of paper or when punched pages must stay in fixed order. Buyers who need letter-size folders, top-tab filing, or plastic dividers will need a different product.

Questions about this item

Will the 1" expansion on these Smead 37705 folders fit inside my existing legal-size filing cabinet?

Yes, each folder measures 8 1/2" x 14" and expands to 1 inch, matching standard legal-size cabinet rails.

How can I confirm the 2S fasteners are holding the maximum 2" capacity securely?

Press the fasteners flat; they should lock with a click and the folder spine should not bulge beyond the 1" expansion crease when filled to the 2" rated limit.

Does the 25-count box include any extra fasteners or tabs, or must I buy them separately?

The box contains 25 complete folders with factory-installed 2S fasteners and end tabs; no additional hardware is included or required.
