I purchased these at my local Staple's store and explained that I planed on using them to organize some of my file folders. The 1st problem is that these are not designed to hold file folders & that was my sole purpose for purchasing this item. In fact you can't even put one folder inside of it due to the way it is designed. The 2nd problem is that I was helped by a store employee who knew how I planned to use these Hanging File Pockets. One would think that she would have advised me that this product was not designed to be nor could it be used to organize folders. Now you may ask why don't you just return them? Good question! Unfortunately I used my Staple Rewards which have now expired so I am stuck with these overpriced Hanging File Pockets. If I could take them back I would buy: Staples® Poly Expanding Hanging File Folder Letter 7 Pockets Blue Item: 653700 Model: 13670
