Bulky Record Management

Smead 74224 file pockets are built for legal-size documents that exceed standard folder capacity. The 3.5 inch expansion gussets handle thick case files, project archives or multi-year tax records. Each box contains 25 pockets constructed with 12-1/2 point redrope backs and 11 point manila liners for durability. Straight cut tabs allow clear labelling across the full width of the pocket.

High Volume Paper Archives

These pockets suit offices, legal practices and compliance teams that store bulky paper files in drawer or shelf systems. The fully enclosed bottom and sides prevent documents from slipping out during transport. Buyers who need only slim folders for light paperwork will find the expansion unnecessary. Digital-first workflows that rarely handle physical bundles should look at simpler folder options.

Drawer and Shelf Integration

The legal format fits standard legal-width filing cabinets and open shelving without modification. Reinforced gusset tops resist tearing when pockets are packed tightly side by side. Rounded top corners reduce snagging on adjacent folders during frequent access. The manila liner provides a clean surface for handwritten or printed subject headings.

Questions about this item

What filing cabinet or shelf depth do I need to fit the 3.5" expansion of the 74224 pockets?

Allow at least 3.5 inches of front-to-back clearance in your legal-size drawer or shelf so the fully expanded pocket can sit flat without binding.

Will the 11 point manila liner and 12-1/2 point redrope back hold up in a cabinet that already contains heavier, older folders?

Yes. The double-thick 9 point redrope front and Tyvek-reinforced gussets are designed to resist tearing even when stored alongside bulky legacy files.

How can I confirm the 74224 pockets are seated correctly after loading them?

The straight-cut tabs should align evenly across the drawer front, the rounded top corners should sit flush, and the gussets should expand smoothly to the full 3.5 inches without catching.
