Legal Size Pressboard File Folders Pack of 5 - Blue, 10 per Box

In this review we look at the Legal Size Pressboard File Folders with SafeSHIELD Fasteners, a pack designed for users who need heavy-duty, expandable organization. The bottom line: this set is best for offices, legal teams, or home offices that store bulky, sequential paperwork and want a safer, more durable fastener than standard metal prongs. The reviewer found the folders reliable for long-term storage, praised the built-in dividers for subdividing files, and highlighted the SafeSHIELD coating as the single biggest reason to choose these folders for safety and reduced paper damage.

Key Features

• Legal size dimensions: Each folder holds standard legal documents and measures approximately 14-3/4 in by 10 in so papers remain flat and in order.
• 2 in expansion: The expanding spine increases storage capacity so one folder can contain larger stacks without bulging or tearing.
• Two dividers with six filing surfaces: Built-in dividers create six separate sections for subdividing subject areas and maintaining sequence within a single folder.
• SafeSHIELD coated fasteners: Patented coated fasteners protect fingers, reduce paper tears and minimize excessive crinkling that shortens document life.
• Recycled pressboard construction: Heavy-duty pressboard contains recycled content and SFI Sourcing Certification, offering durability with a smaller environmental footprint.
• Color coding option: The blue finish (and availability in other colors) helps users visually sort files for quick retrieval.

Who It's For

The folders are ideal for legal professionals, accountants, medical offices and small businesses that regularly manage legal-size paperwork and need an expanding, subdividable solution. Anyone who values document protection and a safer fastener will appreciate the SafeSHIELD coating and sturdy pressboard construction.

These folders are less appropriate for users who only handle letter-size documents, or for those wanting clear plastic pockets or instant digital filing software instead of physical storage. If you only need simple, thin folders for occasional use, a lighter-weight option may be more economical.
