End Tab Folders Great for Simple Organizing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now that I received the End Tab - Letter Size - Manilla Folders it could not be more timely as I begin to organize all of my paper records in preparation for tax season in addition to some spring cleaning. I’ll outline the pro’s and con’s and begin with the cons. Cons: It had been a while since I knew what an “end tab” was and I still do not really know. I think it means having a two hole punched document to be sorted and held by the bendable aluminum “tabs” in each folder. I do not possess documents with two holes so this part of the folder was not useful though I can see the practicality in having this should I have documents with two holes. Pros: This being a letter size folder does the trick and works just fine for the simple organization of documents in my filing cabinets. One box also contains enough folders to last a while especially for home use. If this was in a commercial environment I would recommend using more boxes especially if you possess documents with a two hole punch and I know places like law firms would find this format especially handy.

Hi thanks for replying to our product review request. We appreciate you taking to time to let us know about your experience! ^MS
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These file folders were just what I needed to organize different projects at work! I loved how many documents they were able to hold and still maintain their structural integrity. They were just big enough to hold all the paperwork my projects contain. I do wish the folders were just a little thicker. I feel like they would last a little longer when packed full if they were a little thicker. Overall I enjoyed using these file folder for work and will continue using them going forward.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I hate when paper falls out of my folders. These have strong metal prongs at the top of the page that won’t break after one use. I use these to file recipes I find off the internet and print. I have a folder for each category. These folders help me find the categories easily with the tab that sticks out. You do need a hole punch that supports the top tabs. You also need to print one-sided or upside down on the back side so when you flip the page you can read it. The folders aren’t floppy so I expect them to last a long time with frequent use.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the sturdiness and design of these file folders. One edge of the folder is thick and rounded which makes it easy to grab and avoid paper cuts. I used these folders in my home office filing cabinet. They hold approximately twenty 8 1/2 x 11 sheets of paper and still easy to close.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What did you think of the design and quality of these file folders? Pretty solid! The design is simple and functional and the manila material holds up well for everyday use. If you’re handling them a lot reinforced tabs might be a better option but for regular filing they do the job just fine. What did you think of the quantity and size? The letter-size works perfectly for standard documents and the quantity per pack is decent. If you go through a lot of folders buying in bulk might be a better deal but overall no complaints. How did you use these file folders? Did they help you stay organized? I used them to keep track of applicant and prospect files and paperwork. The end-tab design makes it super easy to scan and grab what I need from the shelf. Pairing them with color-coded labels made everything even more organized so yes—they definitely helped! What did you like most about these file folders? I love how easy they are to label and organize. The end-tab design makes filing and finding documents a breeze especially in an open-shelf system. Simple effective and gets the job done!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These file folders are good quality durable and exactly what you want in a folder. The prongs inside are excellent for keeping your papers neat and organized - no more messy files with papers hanging out of them and getting bent. These folders have definitely made a difference in the organization of my files even just at quick glance they have more visual appeal with the papers staying in place within the folder. If you're looking to organize your files these are a great folder to consider.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These folders are great quality. They are thick and durable. They are even more convenient if you have the correct hole punch to use with them! The only thing I wish was different that’s definitely not a deal breaker is that the labeling tabs were on the top instead of the side. And there’s so many in the box! It’s great to have extras when I need a bit more organization.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These are nice file folders they get the job done. Well cut good quality good size. The quantity of 50 in the box make it easy to have enough to stay organized and have enough folders to complete a project. The straight cut is a nice modern design. The letter size is perfect for every day use. The only thing I didn’t care for was the end tab and interior pronged fasteners. I felt like I didn’t need the fasteners for every file and in some they felt in the way. I wish they had been optional or maybe half the box had them in the folders and half not. The end tab I think is just a more picky thing. I’m used to top tabs and the end tab makes it a little harder to see from a top drawer lateral file cabinet. Not a deal breaker but just something new to get used to.
