Smead Colored Hanging File Folder with Adjustable Tab - Sky Blue

In this review the Smead Colored Hanging File Folder in sky blue is evaluated for office users who need neat, color-coded filing without fuss. The pack of 25 letter size hanging folders stood out for its practical adjustable poly tabs and coated rod tips that glide smoothly in drawers, keeping paperwork upright and accessible. The reviewer found the repositionable clear tabs with replaceable white inserts especially helpful for changing organization schemes, and the folders' 11 pt. colored stock felt sturdy for daily handling while offering a touch of recycled content for offices mindful of materials.

Key Features

• 25 folders per box: Provides enough hanging folders to organize several projects or client files without frequent restocking.
• Adjustable 1/5-cut poly tab: The repositionable tab allows customized placement on the front or back panel for flexible labeling.
• Coated rod tips: Rod tips slide easily in file drawers and reduce catching, making access to documents smoother.
• Letter size dimensions: At 11-3/4 in wide by 9-1/4 in high (exclusive of rods and tabs), they hold standard letter documents upright.
• Replaceable white inserts: Clear poly tabs accept white inserts so labels remain legible and can be updated.
• Made in the USA with recycled content: 11 pt. colored stock contains 10% recycled and 10% post-consumer material and is SFI Sourcing Certified.

Who It's For

The Smead hanging folders are best for small businesses, home offices, and school staff who use file drawers or cabinets and prefer color-coding to speed retrieval. They suit users who need a durable everyday filing solution with flexible tab placement and easy-to-read labels.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing folders for legal size documents or archival storage where heavy-duty, reinforced materials are required; this product is optimized for standard letter size and routine filing rather than long-term heavy archival use.
