Expansion File Folders for Legal Documents

Smead 19595 folders hold bulky legal-size papers in 8 1/2 by 14 inch manila stock with 10 percent recycled content. Two bonded fasteners secure each folder at top and bottom. The 1 1/2 inch expansion depth allows thick files to stay flat. Fifty folders per box supply high-volume filing systems.

Suits Legal-Size Filing Not Letter-Size

These folders fit legal sheets only; buyers who file standard letter pages need a different width. The two-fastener layout is fixed, so users wanting single or three-fastener options should look elsewhere. Manila colour and 10 percent recycled content are standard; custom colours or higher recycled ratios are not offered.

1 1/2 Inch Expansion Depth

The 1 1/2 inch expansion capacity determines how thick a file can grow before a new folder is required. Match this depth to your average case-file thickness to avoid overstuffing or wasted space.

Questions about this item

Do I need legal-size filing equipment to use these 8 1/2" x 14" folders?

Yes, they are legal size and require a legal-size drawer or shelf.

Will the 1 1/2" expansion and two fasteners hold the same volume as my older standard folders?

The 1 1/2" expansion offers significantly more capacity than standard flat folders.

How can I confirm the 10% recycled manila stock is the right weight for my archive?

The heavyweight manila construction feels rigid and resists tearing when fully expanded.
