File Folders for all Office, Medical, Legal & Business Filing

File folders are Advanced Filing Concepts’ specialty. We’ve been helping businesses, medical offices, law firms, schools and government agencies since we started in 1984. We specialize in the filing system you use, whether your used end tab open shelf folders, top tab drawer folders, classification folders for organizing complex records or expandable folders for bulky document management. We also carry all these types in either letter or legal size to fit the documents you use.

Shop File Folders by Type

Top Tab File Folders are ideal for traditional file cabinets, desk drawers, and other systems where labels are viewed from above. End Tab File Folders are designed for open-shelf filing, medical charts, legal records, and color-coded filing systems. For additional organization, shop Hanging File Folders, Classification Folders, Expandable File Folders, Folders with Fasteners, and File Jackets.

Choosing the Right File Folders

Start by selecting the correct filing style. Top tab folders are typically used in drawer-based filing systems, while end tab folders provide side-visible labeling for shelf filing. Choose letter-size folders for standard 8-1/2" x 11" documents or legal-size folders for 8-1/2" x 14" paperwork. Consider folder construction and capacity when selecting your supplies. Standard 11-point folders are economical for everyday filing, while heavier 14-point stock and pressboard provide additional durability. Fasteners secure punched documents, classification dividers separate multiple sections, and expandable folders accommodate thicker records.

Bulk & Custom File Folders

Advanced Filing Concepts supplies file folders for businesses, healthcare facilities, law firms, schools, government agencies, and records departments. Choose from stock folders, bulk quantities, and Custom File Folders with printed logos, headings, specialty tabs, fasteners, and dividers.

The most common file folder types include top tab folders, end tab folders, hanging folders, classification folders, expandable folders, file jackets, folders with fasteners, plastic folders, and two pocket folders. Top tab and hanging folders are most common for drawer filing, while end tab folders are used for shelf filing systems.

Letter size folders fit 8.5" x 11" paper and are the most common. Legal size folders fit 8.5" x 14" documents and are typically used in legal and government offices.

Top tab file folders are made for file drawers and file boxes where you read the label from the top. They’re common for everyday desk and cabinet filing and come in letter or legal sizes with options like fasteners and colored tabs for indexing. End tab (side tab) folders place the tab on the short side so labels are visible from the side on open-shelf systems. They’re preferred for high-density shelf filing in medical, legal, and administrative environments because they support color-coding, barcodes, and fast, side-read retrieval.
