Inside, two 2" prong K-style fasteners on the front and back panels create separate filing surfaces for drafts, notes and final documents. Each folder is scored for up to 3/4" expansion, giving you room for thicker project files while keeping stacks neat and manageable. The bold blue color makes it easy to code by client, department or year at a glance.

Use these fastener folders as project jackets, case files, medical or legal charts, HR packets or contract folders whenever you need pages to stay in a precise order. The sturdy construction holds up to repeated handling in drawers, desktop sorters and active file systems.
