Works for me!

I'm a saver. Of menus guide books trail folders maps. My hanging files Ina rusting cabinet needed an overhaul so I visited Staples. I was very pleased to see these hanging pockets since my files were overloaded. I only needed 2 pockets to organize all my Cape Cod restaurant menus. One pocket held all my trail maps. These work so much better than just regular hanging files if you have a lot of papers in one category to file.
These are great for those files that are too big for normal hanging files or folders. We have some customers and subcontractors that get 2 or 3 "continued" file folders because they are such big business partners but these folders allow all of their papers to stay together in one section and stay even at the top (you know when you overload files and they can't all sit flat and end up blocking folder names etc?). The only issue is the accordion style makes the sides tight around paper and a little more annoying to slide papers in and out. Taking a minute to flatten the sides and bottom helps them fit better so not a deal breaker by any means!!
Always need file hanging folders with extra room in them for files that need to be either jam packed with many folders or files that need to be filled with bulkier items. The accordian style is very accomodating. The dark green color always matches the other standard folders. The folders themselves are pretty sturdy. You can get alot in them if you try. They are more on the expensive side. I wish that they sold them more in bulk so that you can save money. I believe that you can only by a pack of a few at a time.
I am redoing my filing here at home. The regular folders are just too flimsy and don't stand up. I needed something that was more sturdy and would stay in place. So I purchased these hanging folders. Their quality is superior and have been very good with separating categories in the filing cabinet. I really appreciated the colors because some things can be color coordinated and that makes things easy to find. I still put the manilla file folders into some of the files to separate subjects but they hold the folders very nicely.
