Built for daily filing

Smead 12040 file folders come in a 50-count box of letter-size folders made from 11 pt stock. Two fasteners per folder create separate filing surfaces so papers stay secure and in order. Reinforced 1/3 cut top tabs add durability for frequent handling. The blue colour helps identify categories at a glance.

Suits high-volume offices

These folders suit offices that process large batches of correspondence and need fasteners to prevent pages from shifting. They are not for users who prefer fastener-free folders or who need legal-size capacity. Buyers who want expanding pockets or multiple colour options in one pack should look elsewhere.

Ready to use

Each folder arrives pre-scored and ready to label with no assembly required. Fasteners are factory-attached so they align correctly the first time. The main issue is overloading a folder beyond the two-fastener design, which can cause tabs to tear or papers to slip. Store flat to keep the 11 pt stock from curling.

Questions about this item

Does the Smead 12040 folder fit standard letter-size hanging rails?

Yes, the folder is cut to letter dimensions and the 1/3-cut top tab aligns with common hanging-file rails.

Can I use the two fasteners with older punched documents that have wider hole spacing?

The fasteners are positioned for standard letter-size punching; wider-spaced holes will not line up with the 12040 fastener centres.

How do I confirm the 11 pt stock is holding up after loading a full box?

Check that the reinforced tabs stay rigid and the fasteners keep all sheets flat without the folder bowing at the centre crease.
