Smead End Tab File Folder 1/3-Cut Center - Durable Letter Filing

Our review of the Smead End Tab File Folder finds it best for offices and medical records administrators who need a durable, shelf-ready solution for heavy filing. The single biggest reason to buy is the reinforced, double-thick center tab that stands up to repeated handling and keeps labels readable on crowded shelves. These folders come in a 100-count box of letter size manila with embossed label lines and an undercut front panel, so they arrive ready for organized shelf filing and long-term use.

Key Features

• Reinforced tab: The double thick 1/3-cut center tab provides extra strength so tabs do not tear with frequent use, extending folder life.
• Shelf-ready design: The 9 in high front panel and undercut front panel make spine labels easy to see when folders are stored on shelves.
• Labeling aid: Embossed lines on the folder surface guide neat label placement for consistent, professional filing.
• High capacity box: Each box contains 100 letter size folders, supplying a department or busy records room with immediate inventory.
• Sustainable content: Contains 10% recycled content with 10% post-consumer material and SFI Sourcing Certification for environmentally conscious offices.

Who It's For

The Smead end tab folders are ideal for medical, dental and hospital filing systems where shelf identification and durability are priorities, and for financial or insurance records rooms managing very large collections. Office managers who rotate files frequently will appreciate the reinforced tab and embossed labeling guides.

Small home offices with light filing needs might find the 100-count box more than necessary, and buyers who need colored or specialty folders should look elsewhere, since this product is a manila, letter-size, end tab folder specified for standard shelf filing.
