These Smead fastener folders are workhorses for office organization - they're built to handle heavy use without falling apart. The 11-point manila stock is substantially thicker than cheap folders, and the reinforced end tabs won't tear or bend easily with frequent handling. Each folder comes with two SafeSHIELD fasteners in positions 1 and 3 - the coating on these fasteners is genius because it prevents paper cuts and reduces crinkling of documents. The 2-inch prongs can handle substantial stacks of paper, and the B-style fasteners are reliable and easy to use. The straight-cut tabs give you a clean, professional look, and at 12-1/4 by 9-1/2 inches, they're standard letter size that fits most filing systems. Getting 50 in a pack means you're set for a while, whether you're organizing office documents, client files, or personal records. They're made in the USA with 10% recycled content, so you're getting quality while being somewhat environmentally conscious. If you're tired of flimsy folders that can't handle real office use, these Smead folders are definitely worth the investment.
