Smead SMD71144 Expandable File Wallet 5.25 in Box of 10

Product Description

The SMEAD SMD71144 is an expandable file wallet designed for high-volume document storage in shelf filing systems. Measuring 5.25 inches wide, it features a full-height gusset with rollover tear-resistant reinforcement that prevents blowouts under heavy file loads. A protective flap with elastic closure keeps contents secured during transport or handling. The 3/4 inch straight-cut end tabs are compatible with standard top-tab file folders, making integration into existing filing setups straightforward. Each box contains 10 wallets. Filing clerks, office managers, and records professionals are the primary installers and users of this product.

This wallet fits into standard shelf filing systems used in offices, legal environments, medical records rooms, and administrative workspaces. The expandable gusset accommodates bulkier document sets without overstuffing standard folders. The elastic closure and protective flap make it practical for active files that move between workstations or off-site storage. The straight-cut end tab design works with top-tab folder systems already in place, requiring no changes to existing filing infrastructure. Sold in a box of 10 units.

Installation Notes

These wallets are installed by office and records management personnel without specialized tools. Ensure the elastic closure is fully seated over the protective flap before filing or transporting to prevent contents from shifting. When integrating into an existing shelf system, verify that shelf depth accommodates the 5.25 inch width to avoid overcrowding. Do not overfill beyond the gusset capacity, as this can stress the reinforcement seam over time.
