These sturdy folders hold a very generous collection of manila folders letter-sized papers envelopes and even small receipts. Their firmness keeps its shape well even when overstuffed and small items remain contained inside. The labels are large enough to contain detailed descriptions but are very easy to install and change. Using the colors as a primary category sorting makes locating a particular folder and its contents quick and easy. Thus far there have been no mishaps using this system for filing.
The colored reinforced hanging file folders were the only folders on the shelf when I needed them so I bought this style. These folders seem to work fine so far. They happen to be easier to organize than the old green file folders. The reinforcement may or may not let them survive daily use as well as the older style; only time will tell. It would be pleasant if they last longer than the 15 years the old green ones lasted. Only time will tell. The included tabs and inserts are a nice touch which I didn't expect.
It is about time that someone made these folders tougher. I have had to replace the old style folders during the year before but with the reinforced seams I don't think I will have to do that again.
These colorful folders are doing a wonderful job for my business. I like the weight of the product and the colors are helpful in organizing for my different needs. I found the tags to customize each folder very easy to install.
These hanging files work perfect at not tearing at the seem when you have papers in them. That's a big plus. However what they made up for in the reinforcement they decreased in the the little metal hanging tab. They are so thin that if you have more than a 1/2" stack of papers in there they start bending and folding under pressure. They're hanging in my file drawer right next to some older files that aren't reinforced and you can see the difference in thickness of the metal. I thought for surely these would be heavy duty all around.
These hanging file folders are just fine. They are heavy duty. I have a habit of really putting more than I should in my file folders. These really stand the load. No complaints at all. Good buy and they really hold up.
