Legal-size fastener folders

These legal-size folders come in a 50-count box and are made from heavyweight 11-point stock. They are intended for offices and records teams that manage large filing systems and need durable, colour-coded storage.

Two fasteners and straight tabs

Each folder includes two fasteners positioned at one and three, letting you subdivide and secure documents in two separate sections. Straight-cut tabs provide space for numeric, alphabetic or bar-coded labels, while reinforced tabs resist wear from frequent handling.

Legal format and label requirement

The legal page format limits use to documents of that size, so letter or A4 pages will not fit properly. Labels are sold separately, so you must purchase them before the folders can be fully deployed in a colour-coded system.

Questions about this item

Will the 11-pt stock or the fasteners need replacing first with daily legal-size filing?

The 11-pt stock is heavyweight and the tabs are reinforced for longer life, while the two fasteners per folder are metal and designed to hold subdivisions securely through repeated use.

What stops me from over-filling a folder before the fastener or tab gives way?

Each folder expands to hold 3/4" of material, so the physical capacity limit is reached before the reinforced straight-cut tabs or the two fasteners in positions one and three are stressed.

Do the folders create any noise, heat or power draw when stored on shelves all day?

No — these are passive paper folders with no moving parts, electronics or power requirements, so they generate no noise, heat or energy consumption during all-day storage.
