I purchase these in mass quantity for business purposes. They neatly and securely house all of the paperwork I give to my students in a very professional way. There is also a slot on the left pocket where you can insert your business card which I happen to take advantage of for each and every folder I issue. I highly recommend these folders for many reasons one of which being that they come in packs of ten as opposed to the traditional packs which only come in packs of five. You can't go wrong with these folders and they even come in a multitude of colors to match your own personal or business theme.
At first I thought that the Staples� 2-Pocket Folder Black by Esselte was not going to serve my purposes. I wanted a folder that could be used as a presentation piece to be given to our clients. It had to be affordable and well constructed enough to last a week (the time for our client to review the contents and make a decision). I was pleasantly surprised that the product met all of our needs. The black served as the perfect color to contrast with our materials and business card. The total package gave our company a decidedly professional look. We are certainly pleased with this product!
When you need a professional look for not a lot of money these folders are it. They are roomy without being bulky. The leather-like appearance was not a plus for me initially but a comment was made by one of my workshop attendees about how they disliked getting flimsy folders to hold materials. I noticed many had placed tablets and writing materials in it. Nice touch. The color choices are vibrant. The value in buying in packs is also a plus. I never thought materials could make a difference but I noticed for the first time that my materials were given a smidgen more care and consideration when placed in a quality folder. Just a thought...
