End Tab Fastener File Folder - Reinforced Lavender Letter Size

Our review of these end tab fastener file folders finds them most useful for office teams and individuals who need reliable, long-lasting folders for active filing and transport. The single biggest reason to buy is durability: the Shelf-Master double-thick tab and reinforced construction keep tabs from tearing during heavy use, while the two 2 in prong fasteners hold documents securely. For anyone who regularly subdivides large paper sets or ships files between departments, these folders offer practical strength and expansion room without adding bulk.

Key Features

• Double-thick tab: The reinforced straight-cut tab provides extra strength so labels stay readable and tabs resist tearing over time.
• Two prong fasteners: Two 2 in prong B style fasteners in positions no. 1 and no. 3 keep punched documents aligned and secured during handling.
• Expandable score: Each folder is scored 3/4 in for expansion, allowing thicker document sets to fit without bulging or stressing the binder area.
• Sturdy stock: Made of 11 point paper stock, the folders feel rigid and maintain shape when stacked on shelves or carried in boxes.
• Eco and sourcing credentials: Contains 10% recycled content and 10% post-consumer material and is SFI Sourcing Certified, which helps offices meet modest sustainability goals.
• Made in the USA: Domestic manufacture reduces variability and supports consistent quality control.

Who It's For

These folders are ideal for administrative staff, legal assistants, medical records departments, and anyone who organizes case files or recurring project paperwork. The combination of reinforced tabs and two prong fasteners suits environments where folders are frequently handled, transported, or refiled.

Those who need color-coded, archival-grade or waterproof options should look elsewhere; these are paper-stock folders intended for everyday filing rather than heavy exposure to moisture or long-term archival storage.
