File Folders with Fasteners

File folders with fasteners, often called folders with brads or prong fastener folders, are designed to secure hole-punched documents inside professional filing systems. Built-in metal fasteners hold reports, forms, and records firmly in place while allowing documents to be added or removed as files grow. These folders are commonly used in legal offices, medical records departments, accounting files, and other high-volume document filing environments.
