Good Folders; Bad Tabs

The Staples expanded hanging folders are what I expected. The tab inserts however are not. I was mystified when I found that the tab inserts could not be printed. They are small 2" x 9" strips that do not have a template and do not fit into the printer. They are made for typing or hand printing! Disappointed! Now I'll have to purchase printable tab inserts. The Pendaflex hanging folders (not expanded) I also purchased included printable tab inserts that were a breeze to set up and print.
These were just what I was looking for. The wide bottom allowed extra thick files to still sit at the same level as thinner ones and made it so that I didn't have to split up material into multiple files. The only thing I wish was better was the metal hanger; it really should be a little heavier-duty to accommodate the extra weight and not bend so much when sliding those files around in the drawer. But it's a very minor issue in the whole scope of what these files provide. I will still buy them!
These folders are made of flimsy lightweight materials- the file material and hooks are extremely thin. A piece of thin cardboard is included to place at the bottom as a reinforcement. No tabs included. Buy the Pendaflex instead- more expensive but totally worth it.
