Smead SMD17743 Legal File Folder Red 1/3-cut 100 Box

Product Description

The SMEAD SMD17743 is a red legal-size file folder built for standard filing environments where economical, durable organization is the priority. Constructed from 11 point single-ply stock, each folder features a 1/3-cut tab standing 0.5 inches high for clear, consistent labeling across hanging frames or open-shelf filing systems. The front panel is undercut to keep tabs visible when the folder is filed upright, and rounded top corners reduce snags during retrieval. A score line allows each folder to expand up to 0.75 inches, accommodating thicker document sets without losing folder integrity. Sold in a box of 100.

These folders are suited for legal-size documents in office, records management, and administrative filing applications. The red color supports color-coded filing systems, making it straightforward to segment files by department, client category, project type, or access frequency. The 11 point stock provides adequate rigidity for files that are accessed occasionally rather than daily, keeping costs in check without sacrificing basic file protection. Each unit of measure is one box containing 100 folders.

Installation Notes

File folders require no tools for setup. Insert documents before filing the folder into the appropriate cabinet drawer or shelf slot. When using color-coded systems, establish a consistent color-to-category key and apply it uniformly across all filing positions to maintain retrieval efficiency. Do not overfill beyond the scored expansion capacity, as this can deform the folder and compromise tab visibility.
