Flag urgent files at a glance with bold red Smead Fastener File Folders, item 12740. The bright color stands out in crowded drawers so your most important projects, deadlines, or compliance files never get lost in a sea of manila.

Each letter-size folder is made from sturdy 11 pt red stock and finished with a reinforced 1/3-cut top tab, giving you extra strength right where labels and fingers land the most. Tabs come in assorted positions across the box so headings are easy to scan in any file drawer.

Inside, two 2" prong K-style fasteners on the front and back panels keep pages locked into place. Sort drafts on one side and signed copies on the other, or separate clinical notes from billing paperwork—either way, documents stay in order even when the file is passed from desk to desk.

The spine is scored to allow up to 3/4" expansion, giving you room for thicker case files and multi-part projects without splitting or bulging. Use these red fastener folders for priority client files, HR and personnel records, medical charts, legal matters, audits, and any file you can’t risk misplacing.

Round out your system with file folder labels so every red folder is clearly labeled and easy to spot in seconds.

  • Letter size: holds standard 8 1/2" × 11" documents
  • Two filing surfaces: 2" prong K-style fasteners on front and back panels keep pages in order
