Having used many different brands & quality of letter-size manila file folders 3 tab over the years I find this particular Staples brand size & quality to be made of superior quality over other competitive brands. The regular weight manila file folders that most people purchase do not last very long & need to be replaced too frequently thus not saving any money. For the difference in price the Staples Heavyweight Manila File Folders definitely are superior to all others.
I bought these because they were on sale. When they say these are heavy weight file folders they were not kidding. When I open my file cabinet it sounds like I stuck a playing card in the spokes on my bike. I open the file cabinet a lot and the tabs on these things are still rock solid they still have not started to bend. In the past I have got the cheap ones and after the first month I have to bend the tabs back up to see the file name on the tab (this might be a problem with my file cabinet I do not know) in any case I will by these again.
Bought these heavyweight manila folders to organize my files for the new year. They are sturdier that regular folders so should hold up well. I would buy more if needed.
These folders really hold up well to prolonged use. The thicker weight is far superior to "cheap" folders. They are worth paying a little extra if you use your folders regularly and move them around a lot like we do in our tax preparation firm.
