Smead SMD12043 Letter Size File Folder 1/3-cut 100 Box

Product Description

The SMEAD SMD12043 is a letter size file folder constructed from 11-point single-ply stock, designed for economical document organization in office and filing environments. Each folder features a 1/3-cut tab positioned at a height of 0.5 inches, allowing for clear, visible labeling across a standard drawer. The undercut front panel prevents the folder from blocking tab labels on folders behind it, supporting faster visual retrieval. Scoring on each folder allows expansion up to 0.75 inches to accommodate thicker document sets. Rounded top corners reduce snags and wear during repeated handling. These folders are sold in a box of 100 units and are color-coded in blue for categorical filing systems.

The SMD12043 is suited for residential offices, commercial filing rooms, and administrative workspaces that manage moderate to high volumes of paper documents. The blue color coding makes these folders a practical choice for color-categorized filing systems, where different colors represent departments, clients, project types, or access levels. The 11-point stock weight is appropriate for infrequently accessed files where lightweight economy is preferred over heavier stock. These folders fit standard letter size hanging frames and open-shelf filing units commonly found in general office environments.
