Manila File Jackets

Manila File Jackets Closed on Three Sides

Manila file jackets are closed on three sides—the bottom and both sides—to keep loose documents securely contained. This three-sided construction is the key difference between a manila file jacket and a standard manila file folder, which is open on the sides. Choose flat file jackets for everyday records or expanding file jackets for bulky paperwork, photos, reports, receipts, and other materials that could slip out of an ordinary folder.

Why Choose Manila File Jackets?

  • Three-Sided Construction: Sealed sides and bottoms help prevent loose documents and small materials from falling out.
  • Flat and Expanding Options: Choose flat file jackets for standard records or expanding jackets for thicker document sets.
  • Drawer-Filing Compatibility: Designed for organized storage in file cabinet drawers, desktop filing systems, and file boxes.
  • Durable Manila Stock: Sturdy 11-point or 14-point construction withstands repeated handling and everyday office use.
  • Label-Ready Surfaces: Add filing labels, color-code labels, or handwritten identification for faster record retrieval.

When to Use a Manila File Jacket

  • Loose Documents: Contain papers that are not punched, fastened, stapled, or otherwise secured together.
  • Photos and Small Materials: Keep photographs, receipts, cards, notes, and similarly sized items from slipping out during storage.
  • Bulky Records: Use expanding file jackets for reports, case materials, project records, and other thick document groups.
  • Sensitive Paperwork: Provide more coverage and containment than an open-sided filing product.
  • Drawer and Box Storage: Organize document jackets in filing cabinets, portable file boxes, or larger record-storage systems.

Manila File Jackets vs. Standard File Folders

A manila file jacket is sealed on three sides to contain loose materials. A standard file folder is open along the sides and is primarily designed to separate and identify paper records. Choose a file jacket when containment is important, particularly for loose, small, sensitive, or bulky materials.

For conventional open-sided filing, shop our standard top tab manila file folders.
