I ordered a number of these folders for a business project. They are not very white they are more like "off-white" or ivory. As they are advertised as white this is not what I was expecting. Some of the glue in the middle of the folders spills over on the side a little bit so it is a little hard to put letter sized sheets in unless you break some of the glue off. Other than that they are pretty much what you could expect for the price. If you are looking for something professional I would not recommend these. If you want a cheap folder that you can throw some papers in and don't care about the aesthetics then this product will work for you.
