The only downside about this purchase is that I could only find one package of these folders in the clearance bin at my local Staples. I would have loved to have been able to purchase 20 more packages to use in my high school classroom. The price was unbelievable, the quality is terrific; they're study, colorful, and versatile( in that the label tab is easily erasable to make relabeling so easy), and versatile(in that you can use them for many different purposes and in many different venues).
I love the folders but didn't realize when I ordered them that there were only 5 colors. Each color has it's own tab position. But you end up with only 6 tabs on the right, 12 tabs in the middle, and 12 tabs on the left. If you try to line them up with tabs right, middle, left you end up only 6 sections in the right order and 6 sections without a right tab.
I try to reuse files as often as possible. The tab part of these files is coated in plastic & allows me to easily peel off file labels or write on with a pen & erase later. Without this coating I was constantly ruining folders trying to peel off sickers and tearing the file, or making them look terrible with white-out. I will not buy any other type now!!

Q:
Are the tabs in the same position for each color, or do the tabs vary throughout individual color? For example, is the tab always on the right for red,center for blue, etc.?

Just bought the 30 pk. All tabs in the same position for each color. Had bought a different brand last time (I think Office Depot) with the tabs varied in each color.
