Plastic File Folders

Updating an office filing system with clear plastic file folders

Clear plastic file folders provide transparency for stored information. The clear cover lets you view the basic contents without opening the file, and the durable design prevents folding and creasing of documents. This type of information organization system is simple to use and doesn’t require learning complex electronic filing systems. A traditional organization system also provides a physical copy of the information, which is needed in some industries such as law and banking. Most come with self-stick adhesive labels that peel off easily so a user can change the contents as needed. To hold a maximum amount of paper, choose expanding file folders. Some even have hook-and-loop fasteners to keep pages secure while in transport or storage. 

Benefits of plastic file folders

Colored plastic file folders allow companies to organize information according to department, by sales representative, or even by year. This helps distinguish the contents without actually looking at the information. Colored folders also make filing easier and make it possible to detect when information is out of place in the filing cabinet. Plastic file folders with pockets create a small storage area for holding inserted items like photographs, notes, and memos. 

Most of these storage materials are crafted from heavy-duty polypropylene that's resistant to smudges and dirt. The material is easy to clean and resists moisture that can damage pages and smear ink. The plastic material is also resistant to tearing and folding to prevent creases and damage to contracts and other sensitive information in medical folders. Because the material is durable and resistant to damage, plastic organizational mediums are easy to reuse to save money.
