SMEADPressboard Classification File Folder with SafeSHIELD Fasteners, 1 Divider, 2" Expansion, Letter Size, Red, 10 per Box (13775)

Since introducing these folders to my waterproofing business it has completely overhauled our whole filing system. No longer are documents falling out the manila folders. We switched out every project and every vendor folder to these folders . They are well made, can expand, and have multiple uses. You can place contracts, billing, material invoices and correspondence in its own section! You can house insurance policies from every year into one folder. You can use them for vendors you pay and have a section for each year instead of creating a new folder every year.Every area gets labelled and anyone can readily access the information and find what is needed. It is neat, organized and looks so professional!!I have even started using these at home for medical information on all my kids and to hold all my utility bills in one folder.Want them in different colors and if possible even bigger sizes with more tabs!!! Please SMEAD make more colors!!!!

These files are perfect for the office and are nice and sturdy!

When I started my end of my law practice, I wanted to make sure I was organized. These fit the bill perfectly. On one side I keep client info, notes, and billing records. In the middle I keep correspondence on one side, and client documentation on the other side. Pleadings go in the very back. It's perfect, these are well worth the money, and hold up well over time/abuse.

I am a mental health therapist and use these file folders daily. I open and close the tabs and bend them open and shut over and over and LOVE that they don't break! Also, I love that the metal tabs are covered in a soft plastic. The other file folders I bought (that were more expensive!) used metal tabs that weren't covered and they would rip into the paper after a while. not cool to have papers floating around in a file while trying to take notes.Also, The pressboard is VERY sturdy. I've been using this type of file folder for 5 years now, and because if the sturdiness and the tabs, I keep going back to this Smead Pressboard. The color is also the same in the picture. I'll definitely keep buying this product!

My mother has been a community health RN for about 14 years, and with hundreds of patients, it is necessary to store their information in files. For many years, my mother used old flimsy folders, but since upgrading to these sturdy folders, she has less stress. She no longer has to punch holes into the folders, feed fasteners through them and keep them in place with a clamp. These folders already have fasteners (built in) and it is such a time saver. She no longer has to unclamp the fasteners, taking the entire folder apart just to add a few extra pages. She can now add pages by opening the fasteners and bending them right back into place. The divider makes organization so much easier. Instead of having to sift through pages of information, she can separate each into their own sections and there's no more hassle.She is updating her filing system one month at a time. Being on a nurse's budget, she buys 2 boxes every few months and is planning on updating all of her patient's files within a year. My mother simply loves these folders and she highly recommends them to anyone who is short on time and in need of fast organization.

We needed 169 folders and they all work well. Oddly though, we ordered the same color, but we received different shades of blue, which is fine with us; it's just odd.

In my professional office I have always gone the super cheap route with my files. I initially had the plain white folders with no fasteners. Then, in Jan 2012, I bumped myself up to some lovely light blue folders with clips on each side. However, when I got provisionally licensed, I realized that the way I stored my files needed to be changed and that, along with demographics, handwritten notes, bill payment, etc, I just needed MORE. Then I found these classification file folders. They are perfect. With spots for everything I am able to find everything I need with a flick of the wrist and everything stays so well organized. They are a lifesaver. If you have a high amount of clients you may wish to just go electronic, but if you are in a small business, these may be perfect for you!

Very well constructed folder. If any kind of complaint it would be that if handled too much the oil on your fingers will leave marks on the material.

Easy shopping, good price
