While these folders may be on the light side they work great in our office for filing monthly bills and reports. They are archived at the end of the year. When we purge older bills/reports any files that are useable are re-used in the office. Others are recycled or used for our arts and crafts programs. They are a good buy.
We use these colors to indicate the year in taxes. One year might be green then next year will be another color and so on for the four colors. When we use all the pastels we purchace the bright colors. Our accountant seems to appreciate the change from the usual manilla colored folders.
I love these manila file folders!! They are so plain I very much enjoy how nondescript they are. I also love that the tabs are alternating- you can actually see what you've labeled your files assuming that you used a computer or have decent handwriting. Also at the bottom they have prefolded lines that if you fold them again on this line they will hold probably an entire ream of paper. Unlike most printers. So here's the lesson: if you're thinking about buying a printer buy these folders instead!
