Legal File Folders for High-Volume Records

The Smead 28040 folders are built for offices that manage large legal-size filing systems. Each box contains 50 folders made from 11-pt stock in blue for colour-coded organisation. Two embedded fasteners in positions one and three let staff subdivide documents inside a single folder. Reinforced straight-cut tabs provide space for numeric, alphabetic or bar-coded labels.

Fastener Setup and Label Planning

Installation is limited to inserting the prongs through pre-punched holes and bending them flat to secure the papers. The two fastener positions are fixed, so the filing order cannot be changed after the holes are punched. Labels are sold separately, so buyers must source compatible adhesive or printable labels before the folders are ready for the shelf. Tabs are reinforced to resist tearing during frequent handling.

Legal-Size Capacity and Material Limits

Each folder expands to hold three-quarters of an inch of material, which caps the volume of paper per unit. The 11-pt stock resists everyday wear but is not rated for extreme bulk or continuous heavy retrieval cycles. Fasteners are designed for standard punched sheets; they do not accommodate unpunched documents or non-standard hole patterns. The product uses wood from a certified managed forest.
