Pressboard File Folder FAQ

Pressboard file folders are used for thick, heavy, frequently handled, or long-term records that need more support and expansion capacity than standard file folders. Common uses include legal cases, financial records, personnel files, medical administration, projects, contracts, and insurance documents.

Yes. The pressboard folders in this category have top tabs and are designed for drawer filing. The label tab is positioned along the upper edge so it remains visible in a file cabinet, desk drawer, or lateral file drawer.

Expansion capacity varies by product. Some pressboard folders expand up to 3 inches to accommodate bulky records and document sets that grow over time. Check the individual product specifications to confirm the exact expansion.

Choose folders with fasteners when punched documents need to remain secured and arranged in a specific order. Choose folders without fasteners when loose paperwork must be inserted, removed, copied, or reorganized frequently.

Pressboard folders use thicker, more rigid material and are designed for bulky, active, or long-term records. Standard file folders are lighter and better suited to routine files containing a smaller amount of paperwork.

Top tab pressboard folders are designed for file drawers where labels are viewed from above. End tab pressboard folders are designed for open shelves where labels are viewed from the side.
