If your files receive moderate handling these folders are good value for your money. If your files get alot of handling you probably should spend the money for a heavier card stock.
I bought one package in the store on sale. When I got home and opened the box I realized that several folders were damaged. Needless to say I was disappointed but did not take the trouble to drive back to the store and exchange it. I just threw away the damaged ones and next time I will be more careful when I buy this product.
I originally bought the 5 tab folders because someone had put them on the stack with the 3 tab so I had to return to the store to "fix" the problem. THAT was a pain! I wish the clerk would've said something but she probably didn't notice either. A reminder/suggestion of the cheaper priced 3 tab folders would've been nice. I'm just sayin'!
