Red file folders for fast filing

These top-tab folders arrive in a 50-count box of Smead model 12740. Each folder is made from 11 point stock and includes two K-style fasteners that create separate filing surfaces. The design suits offices that need meeting notes and drafts kept together but distinct. Reinforced tabs add durability for frequent handling.

Fastener installation and common issues

The 2-inch prong fasteners are factory-mounted so no assembly is required. Papers slide onto the prongs and the compressor bar locks them in place. Misaligned holes or overstuffed folders can cause the prongs to bend or the compressor to slip. Scored 3/4-inch expansion helps prevent tearing when the folder is full.

Two fasteners per folder

The defining specification is the pair of fasteners that give each folder two independent filing surfaces. This lets you separate active notes from reference material inside a single cover. If your workflow only needs one fastener per folder, a different model would be more economical.
