Legal-size expanding file pockets

These Smead 74088 pockets hold legal documents measuring 8 1/2" x 14" and expand up to 3-1/2" for bulky records. Rollover Tyvek reinforcement at the top of the 6-1/2" sides makes the edges virtually tear-proof. The Redrope material contains 30% recycled content. They come 25 per box.

Offices with high-volume legal filing vs minimal

Suits legal practices, government offices or any workplace that accumulates thick case files and needs durable, expandable pockets. The right-position 2/5 cut tabs keep labels visible in standard drawer systems. Not suited for users who only store a few letter-size sheets or who need letter-width pockets.

3-1/2 inch expansion capacity

The accordion-style gusset opens to a full 3-1/2 inches, determining how many folded documents each pocket can hold. Buyers should match this depth to the thickest file they plan to store. If a larger expansion is required, this model will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the expansion is reaching the full 3 1/2 inches after loading?

Fill the pocket until the accordion sides are fully extended and measure the gusset depth; it should read 3 1/2 inches at maximum capacity.

What comes in the box and is anything else required?

The box contains 25 legal-size Redrope file pockets with 2/5-cut right tabs and Tyvek-reinforced sides; no additional components are needed.

Which version should I choose for legal documents needing maximum capacity?

Choose the 74088 model — it provides 3 1/2-inch expansion, legal 8 1/2 x 14 dimensions and 30% recycled Redrope material in a 25-count box.
