Hanging Pocket File with 1-3/4 in Gusset - Letter Size

In this review the focus is on a practical solution for bulk document storage: a box of 25 letter-size hanging pockets featuring a full-height gusset and 1-3/4 in expansion. The reviewer found it best suited to offices or home workspaces that handle thick project folders, receipts or mixed-size paper collections where pockets must expand without catching in a drawer. The single biggest reason to consider these pockets is their combination of substantial expansion and secure full-height sides that keep loose items contained while still allowing the folder to lie flat when not expanded.

Key Features

• Full expansion: Accordion-style sides expand to 1-3/4 in so bulky stacks fit cleanly without spilling or crushing documents.
• Full-height gusset: Full-height sides protect small items and prevent the pocket from catching when sliding in and out of a drawer.
• Die cut handles: Built-in handles make transporting a suite of documents between offices convenient and reduce risk of items slipping out the sides.
• Durable stock: Made from 11 pt. colored stock for everyday handling and repeated use while maintaining shape under load.
• Eco credentials: Contains recycled content and SFI Sourcing Certification to support greener filing choices.
• Convenient pack size: A box of 25 pockets supplies enough units for a larger filing project or departmental restock.

Who It's For

These hanging pockets are aimed at office managers, small business owners and home office users who need to file thick sets of documents, such as client files, financial records, or project binders, without upgrading drawer capacity. The full-height gusset and 1-3/4 in expansion are especially useful when collections include receipts, envelopes or small loose items that must be kept secure.

Those who need tabs or labeled inserts should note that tabs are not included, so buyers who require a ready-to-label system may prefer pre-tabbed options. If you only file slim stacks of paper or prefer color-coded pre-tabbed folders, this style may be more capacity than necessary.
