Straight Cut File Folders with Full-Length Tabs

Straight cut file folders feature a full-length top tab that provides more room for file names, labels, barcodes, and other identifying information. Also called full-cut or full-tab file folders, they're designed for drawer filing in file cabinets, desk drawers, and lateral files. We carry letter-size and legal-size straight cut folders in manila and assorted colors, with standard or reinforced tabs and optional fasteners.

Choosing the Right Straight Cut File Folders

Choose letter-size folders for standard 8-1/2" x 11" documents or legal-size folders for 8-1/2" x 14" paperwork. Reinforced tabs provide additional durability for frequently handled files, while folders with fasteners help keep punched documents secured and in order. Straight cut folders are commonly used for medical records, legal files, accounting documents, and business filing systems that require detailed labeling.

Straight Cut vs. 1/3-Cut File Folders

Straight cut folders have one continuous tab across most or all of the folder width, providing maximum labeling space. A 1/3-cut folder has a smaller tab positioned on the left, center, or right, allowing labels to be staggered throughout the drawer. Browse our Top Tab File Folders for additional tab styles and filing options.
