Smead 74395 Legal Expansion Pocket 7" Redrope 5/Box

Legal-size 7-inch expansion pocket

The Smead 74395 is a legal-size expansion pocket designed for offices and professionals who need to store large volumes of paperwork in a single folder. Each box contains five pockets built with heavyweight front and back panels plus a hidden poly reinforcement strip for added durability. Tear-resistant gussets extend twice as far into the panels as standard pockets, and the manila lining provides a clean surface for labeling. A fold-down front panel allows quick access to contents.

Capacity and material limits

The 7-inch expansion depth sets the maximum thickness of documents the pocket can hold, so very large case files may require multiple pockets. The Redrope stock and Tyvek-reinforced gussets resist tearing but remain paper-based, so they are not waterproof or fire-rated. Manila lining accepts pen or pencil markings but may not be compatible with all adhesive labels. The product uses wood from a certified managed forest, which is an environmental attribute rather than a performance specification.

Compatibility checks before ordering

Confirm that your filing cabinet, shelf or drawer accommodates legal-size folders, which are longer than letter-size formats. Verify that a 7-inch expansion width fits the available shelf spacing when the pocket is fully loaded. Ensure your labeling method works on manila-lined surfaces and that the straight-cut tab style matches your existing index system. The pockets are sold only in boxes of five, so order quantities must match that pack size.
